Hartsfield Jackson Airport Named Busiest in U.S.



The numbers are in, and Atlanta is once again home to the busiest airport in America.  Over the past decade, Hartsfield Jackson in Atlanta and O'Hare in Chicago have vied for the top honor, with Chicago narrowly coming out on top a few times.  But for the past couple of years, the competition hasn't even been close, and Atlanta is hosting more air travelers than any other destination in the ...
