History
In April 1925, Walter Sims, the then mayor of Atlanta, signed a five-year lease for an area used as a racing track. This was first named Candler Field, after the then owner of the Coca-Cola patent and owner Asa Griggs Candler. The first plane landing followed a year later with the landing of a mail plane from Jacksonville. Pitcaim Aviation did not offer the first commercial flight connections from Atlanta until the spring of 1928. Only one year later, Delta Air Lines, founded in 1928, followed. Since then, it has managed its business from Atlanta and also owns its most important hub. In 1939 the first control tower was finally built,

In 1946, after the end of the Second World War, the airport was officially renamed Atlanta Municipal Airport. Even then, the airport was one of the most frequented airports in the United States with more than 1,600 arrivals and departures per day. The airport finally reached the number of more than 1 million passengers only 2 years later. In 1956, with Eastern Airlines and its regular connections to Montreal, international scheduled flights followed. Atlanta’s airport development was disproportionate compared to other US airports and thus the two million mark was exceeded as early as 1957, at the same time a new terminal was built to cope with the steadily growing air traffic. Atlanta became the most important and largest airport in the USA even then,

A further expansion of the site and the opening of another new concourse followed in 1961, so Atlanta was able to handle around 6 million passengers annually. But as early as 1967, after 9.5 million passengers had been counted, the area at that time was no longer sufficient for future prognoses and so a consortium of urban developers and several airlines decided on a strategic plan on how the area could be designed for the next few decades. Further expansion did not begin until 1977, ten years later, when it was the largest construction project in the southern United States.

The official opening followed in the fall of 1980 with the simultaneous renaming to the name Atlanta – William B. Hartsfield International Airport, in order to also pay tribute to the mayor at the time, as he had been vehemently committed to the airport expansion. The capacity at that time was sufficient for approx. 55 million passengers. Another renaming to the current name finally took place in 2003, in honor of the mayor of the same name who died in the same year.
