About Atlanta Airport

Located in the middle of Atlanta, Georgia, the Atlanta Airport has over 110 million passengers a year. It began as a small airport named Candler Field in 1925 but was renamed Atlanta Airport in 1942. It became the world’s busiest airport in 1957 and still holds that title. With two terminals, seven concourses, and 195 gates, there is plenty of space for all those passengers. 

While you are at Atlanta Airport, make sure you stroll through to see the Airport Art. From paintings to models, murals and sculptures, local and international artists share their work all over the airport, so it is easy to find. The airport also has over 50 retailers from shops to kiosks where you can grab souvenirs, browse for items for yourself, or get something you need like a newspaper or phone charger. 

You can also find dozens of eateries and lounges for when you get hungry or need a drink. Knock back a beer or two or enjoy a meal at one of the great restaurants like Varsity Hot Dogs or Paschal’s Southern Cuisine. Nap on a cozy sofa in one of the Minute Suites in Concourse B or watch television on HDTV. 

Fun Fact: The airport used to be a racetrack named the Atlanta Speedway before it was bought by the mayor to become an airfield in 1925.
