Georgia has been named the #1 State for Infrastructure by CNBC with an A+ 2023 Infrastructure score, and our Atlanta airport has once again been named busiest in the world.
"How big and vital is Atlanta’s Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport? In 2015, it became the first airport in the world to surpass 100 million passengers in one year. Traffic peaked at a record 110 million passengers in 2019. The pandemic changed everything the following year, but ATL is soaring back. Traffic rose 24% last year from 2021 levels to 94 million passengers, easily qualifying the airport as the world’s busiest." - CNBC
