Even though Atlanta itself has less than 500k residents, Atlanta’s metro population is over 6 million making it the 7th largest metro in the nation. Also Atlanta’s airport not the only major airport serving Atlanta, but also the whole southeast region.
Also ignore the fact if all of people inside i285 was in the city limits Atlanta population would be over a million people. 😅 Atlanta with size city limits of Jacksonville, FL now we talking about 2.5 to 3 million people.
I actually live on one of the traffic patterns where the planes turn in and line up to the runway for landing. And at about 2500 - 7000 ft is when they usually come by but mostly 3000 ft. But lemme tell ya it is noisy as heck when I'm trying to sleep the planes be like "Hey, don't sleep yet..." But anyways I like your videos planes come by like every 30 - 45 seconds. Making roaring sounds.
I work for Delta in Atlanta on the tarmac loading and unloading the aircraft and lemme tell ya...there's always, ALWAYS another flight right after you get done with one. It's always busy, but the summer is when it gets ridiculously busy. I just wish they didn't build the airport in the middle of the only storm band that comes through GA. It seems like it's always raining when I work and take it from me, 8 hours working in the rain really makes me laugh at anything that says it's waterproof lol
I have so many childhood memories passing through ATL. I’m from the Northeast and whenever my family went to Florida or Costa Rica we’d always have to transfer here.
You know, the city of Atlanta (like all large cities) does not just consist of what's inside the city limits. The metropolitan population of greater Atlanta is well over 6 million.
And if you look at large cities around the world like Paris (two airports, with one way out on the fringes for budget airlines and not within city limits), London (six airports), New York City metro area (three airports), and Tokyo (two airports) they all have at least one airport to split their traffic. In Atlanta, there is basically no other major airport within a reasonably close distance. You have Birmingham, Alabama (moderately sized airport) 2 hours away, and various small regional airports. However, the next closest major international airport would be Charlotte, North Carolina which is 4 hours away. Bottom line: If you live within an hour or 90 minutes (even 2 hours depending on the trip) of the Atlanta metro area you are going to be using Hartsfield Airport!
Important to note that although atlanta has a small city population, the metro is absolutely massive. If you’ve ever been to the atlanta area, you’ll realize how far out the city actually goes, despite not officially being within “city limits”. Not to mention, there is no alternative airport anywhere nearby for likely over ten million people. If you live 2 hours outside atlanta, but want to fly internationally for example, you most likely will drive to atlanta
Atlanta is a big city with a busy airport, but a lot of people forget most of the larger cities have multiple large airports. NY has Kennedy LaGaurdia Newark, LA has LAX ONT SNA BUR LGB, Chicago has MDW ORD, Dallas has DAL DFW. The amount of traffic flying into some of these other cities and the multiple airports is much larger!
Atlanta is also a layover for flights to Europe since outside of Florida and Washington DC, there’s almost no Airports in the Southeast that fly to Europe
Used to fly to ATL every week for 18 months. Great airport overall. My only complaint is whenever I decided to skip the lavatory trip before landing and waited to use the restroom in the terminal, we would always land on the southern runway 10/28. The long taxi would involve holding at 9R/27L and 9L/27R to allow planes to take off and land. All topped off with a 20 minute wait for the gate with a delayed plane to clear. Still, lots of great memories. It's one of the few airports that can support two simultaneous takeoffs and three parallel landings regardless of weather due to the runway configuration.
I can attest to how busy ATL is. My family and I have made a few connecting flights here while on the way to Orlando, Florida or San Juan, Puerto Rico for vacation. The connecting flights we had were luckily in concourses that were literally next door to each other.
Ice711, You are wrong about saying half the planes are Delta. It is actually 3/4 all planes. Plus, I am proud to say Hartsfield Jackson will continue to be the busiest.
He failed to mention how metro area is a more true assessment with ATL being the 7th largest metro in the US at 6.4 million. GA is the 8th most populous state also.
So basically, if you think about it, being the average Georgian resident, Atlanta has good fares, it's a great place to stopover, it's a hub for Delta, Southwest, Spirit, and Frontier, putting in some of that more good fares. The population is over 6-7 million, 9th largest metro, EVEN LARGER THAN THE SAN FRANCISCO OR SEATTLE METRO. Atlanta is just like that. Also, Delta's headquarters are in Atlanta, and also, chickfila borgirs are good.
I remember that when I was flying to visit family in Virginia from my hometown in Hiroshima. That are destination would be Atlanta. Even tho the airport is huge as fuck with it’s 7 terminals and huge gate halls. It was packed to the brim inside with shops and people walking around.
I actually flew to Atlanta a month ago, all I saw was Southwest and Delta, I did see some Spirit and United flights but there we only like 2. I also saw a 747 for the first time in my life so that was cool I guess.
i live in atlanta area but search up atlanta itll show you the size and that's where the nearly 500 thousand people live maybe more but than search up metro Atlanta population and it is almost 6.2 million. Just like Miami one of the biggest cities in the south when you search it up it says the population is 439 thousand which doesn't sound right but that's only counting Miami its self but the metro population of it is same as Atlanta. same with other big cities that look to have small populations just search up the metro population and it'll be totally different haha!
I work here and somtimes I sit and count like 45-60 seconds between takeoffs and that's for hours on end. And that's only one side, there are two runways used for takeoff
I think that London Heathrow is the busiest due to how many international and UK to UK flights there are and when you go there , all the hotels are always "full" .
i thin so its because delta airlines was found by atlanta. so most probably when their are long flights with delta it shows connect or layover in atlanta . so mabey thats why it is so busy
Trying to make Atlanta seem like a small city while not looking at the metro population is a bit disingenuous. When you consider the metro area, it's one of the largest in the US.
When you live in the Atlanta area and learn about the airport through a video that is half meme-
Lol pretty much all my videos
@@ice711real they're amazing! Keep at it!
Same. And I'm about to go get my pilots license. Lmao
Fr
Same, live in Atlanta and cannot go outside without hearing an aircrafy

My thoughts exactly

@@brbarlow195why the HELL is Jacksonville so damn large. I drove through it recently and like half of it was forest.
That makes a lot more sence

I do construction.... in and around atlanta.... outside.... I feel ya there. Haha
I wish the Delta terminal at JFK was as nice as the one at LGA (photos you showed). Too bad there aren't any direct flights from where I live to LGA.

Who is Dave?

used to live in atlanta i can confirm it is very busy
This guy makes me laugh, Subscribed.
Thanks, more to come soon as always
Another great video by Ice
:D

It's official, I have now become co-dependent on your channel. Please give endorphins funny airline man
As a proud Atlantian, I can confirm that air traffic never ceases in the Big Peach. Flightradar24 at 2:43 AM? Countless passenger and cargo ops.
Its a good day when ice711 uploads💪💪💪
nice i love ur vids

Classic hub and spoke airport method. Can’t wait to start flying for Delta, waiting for a DPE to get my commercial license!
Good luck getting your license! Good choice to go with Delta!
Same reason why my home airport is busy dtw btw dtw isn’t a bad airport go here some day
Imagine the Delta lounge at this airport.
Jeb Brooks toured all of them in one day. I think there’s 7? Anyway, just look it up on here.
Atlanta airport is literally bigger than my entire home town
well my home town is absolutely tiny but we don't talk about that. disregard
0:08 me when in a a380
Oh my god the "covid-19" creeping in at 3:08 made me laugh so much
Me too
Also the Chinese radio😂😂😂
georgia is a state in such a strategic position you cant miss it if you're connecting
Its all because of Justin bieber 9 year old fans.
As a Georgian, who has flown to and from the Atlanta airport, tons of times, I can confirm😂
i sense a shit ton of biased towards delta, and im fucking here for it
I fly delta so I've been there A LOT
Of course ATL is. Least physically charming, but makes everyone who lives in Georgia proud we get recognized for SOMETHING.
I can attest to how busy ATL is. My family and I have made a few connecting flights here while on the way to Orlando, Florida or San Juan, Puerto Rico for vacation. The connecting flights we had were luckily in concourses that were literally next door to each other.
2:02 got me dead lmao
Stocked with planes.but still nice to board in
love the mix or regular video and a little bit of slander
1:38 NO NO NO NONO NONO NO
LMAO i live in atlanta and I go spotting here all the time, it is so busy, awesome for spotting, 10/10 would def reccomend
I can see kids staring at this and saying 'calmest airport in Ohio'
Its in Georgia (just ignore that)
Bro I was there once and some dude brought a gun and held up the entire place 💀
Oh nah💀
Ohio
☠️☠️☠️☠️
What is the song at the end? Ive been seaching it for months!
Text me records - where am I
Shazam exists

0:46 As a person from omaha, Nebraska I can say it is like this in the west
He failed to mention how metro area is a more true assessment with ATL being the 7th largest metro in the US at 6.4 million. GA is the 8th most populous state also.
I’ve flown in and out of ATL and there is always a line for take off.
I’m going to Atlanta in about of month wish me luck
Good luck

Yes Atlanta is on the top ten in metro and it basically is like one of the ways to acces international ai travel for people in states like alabama
Bro Memphis Airport be trippin rn 💀it’s just all fedex and ups
Unlike the bigger metro areas, Atlanta only has one airport, which deflates passenger numbers at the big ones
Great video bro ☺️
The city proper is small in population but the Atlanta metro area is 7 million and growing fast.
The city limit is only 130sq miles
I love your videos
:)
/:)
i've been there, VERY BUSY

Most busiest day in Ulaanbatar chingis khaan Airport Please
I live near the MSP (minneapolis airport) and there's just 90% of Delta flying over my house everyday
0:18 why is no one talking about this but there is a Town called Griffin 💀
I live in Georgia and I go to the Atlanta airport but I didn’t know it was this busy
i just rode on a delta a350 economy class and it was so good

Yes, for the purpose of the video, I did not mention metro area population 😉
You have to take into account Miami city limits is tiny at 33sq miles! Metro is a true merit of what’s really going on.
I work here and somtimes I sit and count like 45-60 seconds between takeoffs and that's for hours on end. And that's only one side, there are two runways used for takeoff
This is my home airport
I saw a Cessna 17 2S Skyhawk SP (C172) on flightradar24. This is a plane which was made in 1955, pretty old right? Is it rare to find?
That is NOT rare buddy 💀
nice content mate, keep it up
Denver is 3rd busiest now? Eh? Now that’s something
Delta also has direct flights from nyc to Miami…
I think that London Heathrow is the busiest due to how many international and UK to UK flights there are and when you go there , all the hotels are always "full" .
Ok but London is capital city in europe where is a lot of countries.
#Against Racism in your Discord-Server and against an corrupt admin-team!
The way you presented the size of Atlanta was extremely misleading. Atlanta is a massive urban area spread out over almost 3000 square miles.
living by final for runway 9L i can confirm that i see delta planes every day
Whats more sus is the source of these wiki articles being the Port of NY and NJ
i thin so its because delta airlines was found by atlanta. so most probably when their are long flights with delta it shows connect or layover in atlanta . so mabey thats why it is so busy
yes it will
the delta planes always fly daily only to atlanta where i live
My teacher played this exact video in class and thought it was educational
Everyone was laughing so hard
0:46 POV: you live in nebraska
GREAT VIDEO ICE
:) thx
Counting Delta planes at Atlanta:
You’re still gonna be counting them after you die
@@sandserpenthiss yes
1:38 i literally normally select cathay pacific or eva air
I actually just went to Atlanta airport and the gate that my flight was boarding on wasn’t that busy
1:40 except delta is the most expensive airline in the us (tho you get a premium product)
Trying to make Atlanta seem like a small city while not looking at the metro population is a bit disingenuous. When you consider the metro area, it's one of the largest in the US.
Facts and it has a small city limit not annexing parts of Cobb, Fulton or Dekalb. If so it would easily be 2 million by city limit.
1:17 legend has it you can get a direct flight??? 🙃
When you're plane spotting in Atlanta.... Michigan 💀
Atlanta Jackson Airport calmest day with 91 planes 12 Atc people
59M people
1:37 WE DONT TALK ABOUT SPIRIT!
When I was a child I was on a Southwest flight and we had to switch planes within 30 minutes in Atlanta
0:07 PTFS greater rockford when there's an atc:
this is the same airport where we roam around and inside in NFS underground 2, Right?
I looked for some random Tuesday in the future
Delta nyc to Miami (direct) $59
Delta nyc to Miami via ATL $88
Spirit direct $89
Half meme- half facts and stuff I Alr know about- yeah this is is ice’s
2:05 we should talk about LaGuardia…
You forgot about the weather and cargo factor.
the canary islands are just atlanta with low cost carriers
as a DFW enjoyer, we get a lot of planes, but not as much as that lol
I actually go to Atlanta airport and THERE IS TOO MUCH TRAFFIC
When I went on flight radar 24 there was no planes at atlanta
The normal lounge isn't that good tho for me.
