Airport Statistics

Here are some statistics about the airport that I found. It's is about it's size, contents, and some comments of my own, so here they are:


-Hartsfield-Jackson is the busiest passenger airport in the world by accommodating more than 83.6 million passengers in 2004.
(No wonder their carpets look dingy.)
-More than 11 Astrodome playing fields would fit into the North and South Terminal.
(But could Barry Bond's hit one out of it?)
-There are 83 retail stores throughout the Airport.
(Ladies love it, men's wallets don't.)
-There are 77 food and beverage outlets throughout the Atlanta Airport.
(Majority of these are below par on the health meter.)
-Hartsfield-Jackson has more than 30,000 parking spaces.
(Car pool, please.)
-Concourse E has the capacity to handle up to 8,000 arriving passengers per hour.
(That about a plane a minute [133 people, 1 dog])
-Atlanta is closer to Chicago than New York, Philadelphia, or Baltimore.
(Ok)
-The Atlanta Airport's cargo handling space is 1.7 million square feet.
(That's a hell of a lot of luggage)
-More than 200 million people, 80% of U.S. consumers, are within two hours' flight time from the Atlanta Airport.
(We're above average, we're only two hours driving time. That is an interesting stat though. It really show's how close the cities of the world are getting.)
-The Atlanta Airport has more than 1296 toilets.
(I think they didn't make it 1300 just so it wouldn't be unlucky)
-The Airport’s passenger terminal area sits on 130 acres or 5.7 million square feet.
(That's 260 of my front and back yards combined)
-There are more than 25,000 chairs in the Atlanta Airport.
-There are more than 53,000 light bulbs in the Atlanta Airport.
-The Atlanta airport currently has two terminals and six concourses.
-The $5.4 billion expansion includes a fifth runway, an East International Terminal, improved transportation and additional parking.
