Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport (ATL) will implement new regulations in compliance with legislation passed by the Atlanta City Council on Feb. 19. Going forward, access to the Airport will be restricted 24/7 to ticketed passengers, personnel, individuals meeting or greeting passengers, those performing facility maintenance, and others who have legitimate business to conduct at the Airport.
The legislation covers the Domestic and International terminals, ATL SkyTrain, Rental Car Center, and parking decks. Hartsfield-Jackson is publicly owned and operated by the City of Atlanta.
The rationale for the legislation is, first and foremost, safety. This legislation enhances ATL’s ongoing work to maintain a secure and safe environment for passengers, workers, and vendors at Hartsfield-Jackson.
Violators are subject to arrest and prosecution. For more information about this new policy, please review the attached frequently asked questions.
