The airport is located 10 mi (16 km) south of the Downtown Atlanta district. It is named after former Atlanta mayors William B. Hartsfield and Maynard Jackson. ATL covers 4,700 acres (1,900 ha) of land and has five parallel runways. Hartsfield-Jackson Airport has been the world's busiest airport by passenger traffic since 1998 (except for 2020 when the airport is number two), with over 93.6 million passengers (As of 2022). Hartsfield–Jackson is the primary hub of Delta Air Lines. With just over 1,000 flights a day to 225 domestic and international destinations, the Delta hub is the world's largest airline hub and is considered the first mega-hub in America. In addition to hosting Delta's corporate headquarters, Hartsfield–Jackson is also the home of Delta's Technical Operations Center, which is the airline's primary maintenance, repair and overhaul arm. Aside from Delta, Hartsfield-Jackson is also a focus city for low-cost carriers Frontier Airlines and Southwest Airlines. The airport has international service within North America and to Latin America, Europe, Africa, Middle East and East Asia.The airport is mostly in unincorporated areas of Clayton County, but it spills into the city limits of Atlanta, College Park, and Hapeville, in territory extending into Fulton County. The airport's domestic terminal is served by MARTA's Red and Gold rail lines.

It is located at 2000 Convention Center Concourse, just off Camp Creek Parkway (S.R. 6) and Roosevelt Highway (U.S. 29) in College Park. The Convention Center is accessible from the Airport MARTA station (via a connection to the ATL Skytrain), Interstate 285, and Interstate 85. It has a number of exhibit halls, meeting rooms and ballrooms that can be rented. Behind the Convention Center, the Atlanta Airport people-mover called ATL Skytrain, connects airport patrons with the new rental car complex, four hotel accommodations, and restaurants at the Gateway Center of the Georgia International Convention Center. It is connected via ATL Skytrain. In 2016, it was to be the home to the Atlanta Vultures of American Indoor Football but they never played a home game due to turf issues. On November 10, 2016, the Atlanta Hawks announced it had purchased an expansion team to play in the NBA Development League with the intentions of building a new 3,500-seat arena at the Gateway Center to be its home for the 2019–20 season. The expansion team then began play in 2017 as the Erie BayHawks in Erie, Pennsylvania, while the arena was being finished.On November 8, 2019, the Gateway Center Arena officially opened. The Gateway Center Arena will be home to the WNBA's Atlanta Dream for the 2020 season as well as the NBA G League team the College Park Skyhawks.
