Why is Atlanta not famous, but the airport can become the airport with the largest throughput in the world?

? The United States has always been the world's number one civil aviation power, which we cannot deny. However, Atlanta Airport was developed under this background. Atlanta airport is located in a city in the southern United States. Atlanta airport can be the largest airport in the world. I think there are the following points: First, Atlanta is the headquarters of Delta and the most important hub airport, and Delta is the second largest airline after AA. Nearly half of the passengers at Atlanta airport are transported by Delta Air Lines.

The second point: the geographical location of Atlanta determines that it is more convenient to go to any city in the United States. Starting from Atlanta, you can reach 80% of the American population within a two-hour flight distance. Atlanta's top 10 destinations are all American cities.

The third point: connecting flights are more convenient, so there are more international flights to Atlanta. Atlanta's international passenger flow is second only to Dubai and London Heathrow Airport.

The fourth point: ATL is the Delta Hub, one of the three major American airlines. Atlanta has a special geographical position, located in the southeast of the United States. There are no big cities of the same size within several hundred kilometers of Fiona Fang, Fiona Fang, and there are no other large airports. Therefore, many international flights arrive in neighboring cities after connecting flights at ATL.

Fifth: As a major city, Atlanta has only one ATL airport for commercial flights. Another airport, DeKalbPeachtreeAirport, has small/private planes. The last point is that the weather is good, it belongs to subtropical climate, there are few extreme weather, and there are few cases of flight delay or cancellation due to weather reasons. This is also the reason why more airlines are willing to transit in ATL.
