What is ATLNext?

A dramatic evolution of air traveler needs has taken place over the past 40 years. To meet – and exceed – these needs, Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL) has launched a $6 billion capital improvement program called ATLNext.

ATLNext consists of a series of projects over the next 20 years designed to boost capacity, renew and replace existing facilities, and enhance ATL’s aesthetic appeal.

As part of this development initiative, ATL will undergo a curb-to-gate modernization of the Airport’s domestic terminal. The centerpiece of this terminal modernization will be a multipurpose canopy that will protect guests from the elements as they arrive to or depart from the Airport.

These projects, which fall under six general areas, will help secure Hartsfield-Jackson’s position as the world’s busiest and most efficient airport, and further bolster the Airport’s goal to provide the best possible customer service while meeting passengers’ changing needs.
