Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (IATA: ATL , ICAO: KATL , FAA LID: ATL ), also known as Atlanta Airport, Hartsfield , or Hartsfield-Jackson , is an international airport located 7 miles (11 km) south of Atlanta's central business district, in the US state of Georgia. It was named after former Atlanta mayor William B. Hartsfield and Maynard Jackson.
It is the world's busiest airport with passenger traffic since 1998; and with the number of landings and take-off from 2005 to 2013, lost the title to Chicago-O'Hare in 2014, but regained a year later. Hartsfield-Jackson maintains its ranking as the world's busiest airport in 2012, both in passenger numbers and number of flights, with 100 million passengers (more than 260,000 passengers daily) and 950,119 flights. Many of the nearly one million flights are domestic flights from within the United States, where the airport serves as a major hub for travel throughout the southeastern region of the country. The airport has 209 domestic and international gateways. ATL covers 4,700 hectares (1,902 ha) of land and has five parallel runways.
Hartsfield-Jackson is the main center of the Delta, and is a focal city for the low-cost airlines Frontier, Southwest, and Spirit. With just over 1,000 flights daily, the Delta hub is the world's largest hub. Delta Air Lines flew 75.4% of airport passengers in February 2016, Southwest up 9.2%, and American Airlines flew 2.5%. In addition to hosting Delta headquarters, Hartsfield-Jackson is also the home of the Delta Technical Operations Center, which is a major maintenance, repair and repair of airline arm. The airport has international services in North America and countries in South America, Central America, Europe, Asia, and Africa. As an international gateway to the United States, Hartsfield-Jackson is ranked sixth.
The airport is mostly located in unrelated areas in the Fulton and Clayton areas. However, the airport spills over the city limits of Atlanta, College Park, and Hapeville. The domestic airport terminal is served by MARTA's Red and Gold railway line.

Histori
Hartsfield-Jackson has a start with a five-year lease on a 287-acre (116-hectare) field that is an abandoned racetrack called The Atlanta Speedway. The lease was signed on April 16, 1925, by Mayor Walter Sims, who committed the city to develop it into an airstrip. As part of the agreement, the property was renamed to Candler Field after its former owner, Coca-Cola tycoon and former Atlanta mayor Asa Candler. The first flight to Candler Field was September 15, 1926, a Florida Airways flight plane flying from Jacksonville, Florida. In May 1928, Pitcairn Aviation began operations to Atlanta, followed in June 1930 by Delta Air Service. Then the two airlines, now known as Eastern Air Lines and Delta Air Lines, respectively, will use Atlanta as their main hub. The airport weather station became the official location for the Atlanta weather observations of September 1, 1928, and recordings by the National Weather Service.
It was a busy airport from the start and by the end of 1930 it was the third behind New York City and Chicago for regular daily flights with sixteen arriving and departing. (In May 1931, Atlanta had four scheduled departures.) The first control tower at Litler Field opened in March 1939. The official Flight Guide of March 1939 showed fourteen departure weekdays: ten Eastern and four Delta.
In October 1940, the US government declared it a military airfield and the United States Air Force Air Force operated the Atlanta Army Airfield together with Candler Field. The Air Force uses airports primarily to serve many types of temporary combat aircraft. During World War II, the airport doubled and recorded 1,700 takeoffs and landings in a single day, making it the busiest country in terms of aviation operations. Atlanta Army Airfield closed after the war.
In 1942 Candler Field was renamed Atlanta Municipal Airport and in 1948, more than a million passengers passed a war-surplus hangar that served as a terminal building. Delta and Eastern have a wide network of ATLs, although Atlanta did not have nonstop flights outside Texas, St. Louis and Chicago until 1961. Southern Airways established itself in ATL after the war and had short-haul routes around the Southeast until 1979.
On June 1, 1956, the Eastern Airlines flight to Montreal, Canada was the first scheduled international flight from Atlanta. The first scheduled Atlantic trans Atlantic flights in Atlanta were Delta/Pan Am interchange DC-8 to Europe starting in 1964; the first nonstop schedule to Mexico was the Eastern flight to Mexico City around 1972. Nonstop to Europe began in 1978 and into Asia in 1992-1993.
In 1957 Atlanta saw its first jet: the prototype Sud Aviation Caravelle who was traveling from Washington D.C. The first scheduled turbine aircraft was Capital Viscounts in June 1956; the first scheduled jet was the Delta DC-8 in September 1959.
Atlanta is the busiest airport in the country, with over two million passengers passing through 1957 and, between midday and 2pm. every day, this airport became the busiest airport in the world. (The April 1957 OAG shows 165 business day departures from Atlanta, including 45 between 12:05 and 2:00 PM (and 20 between 2:25 and 4:25). Chicago Midway has 414 business day departures, including 48 between 12: 00 and 14:00 In 1957, Atlanta was the ninth busiest airport in the country by flight count and almost equal to the number of passengers.)
The year's work began at a new $ 21 million new terminal opened on May 3, 1961. It is the largest in the country and can handle more than six million travelers a year; the first year nine and a half million people passed through. In March 1962, the longest runway (9/27, now 8R) was 7,860 feet (2,400 m); runway 3 is 5,505 feet (1,678 m) and runway 15 is 7,220 feet (2,200 m) in length.
The airport terminal until the 1970s was located on Virginia Avenue, on the north side of the airport. It was designed around six dock concourses radiating from the central building. Construction began in this midfield terminal in January 1977 under Maynard Jackson Mayor. It is the largest construction project in the South, for $ 500 million. The complex is designed by Stevens & amp; Wilkinson, Smith Hinchman & amp; Grylls, and Minimum Airport Architect & amp; Planner. Renamed for former Atlanta mayor William B. Hartsfield, who did much to promote air travel, the airport reopened on September 21, 1980, on time and under budget. It is designed to accommodate up to 55 million passengers per year and covers 2.5 million square feet (230,000 mÃ,²). In December 1984, a 9,000-foot (2,700 m) parallel runway was completed and another runway was extended to 11,889 feet (3,624 m) in the following year.
Although Eastern was the larger airline of the Delta to the deregulation of airlines in 1978, Delta earlier adopted the hub and spoke route system, with Atlanta as its main hub between the Midwest and Florida, giving it an advantage in the Atlanta market. The East ceased operations in 1991 due to labor problems, leaving Delta as the only major Atlanta airline hub. American Airlines is considering building an Atlanta hub around the time of the Eastern death, but the Delta is determined too strong there and the competitive environment is more profitable in other Eastern hubs in Miami.
ValuJet was founded in 1993 as a cheap competition for Delta in ATL. However, its safety practices were questioned earlier and the airline reasoned after the ValuJet Flight 592 accident. The 1996 flight resumed operations in 1997 as AirTran Airways and was the second largest airline in ATL until it was acquired by Southwest in 2011 and fully absorbed into the Southwest on 28 December 2014. Southwest is now the second largest airline in the airport.
In May 2001 the construction of more than 9,000 feet (2,700 m) of runway (10-28) began. It finished at $ 1.28 billion and opened on May 27, 2006. It bridges Interstate 285 (the Perimeter) on the south side of the airport, making Hartsfield-Jackson the only national civil airport that runs on the interstate (though Runway). 17R/35L at Stapleton International Airport in Denver, Colorado crossed Interstate 70 until the airport was closed in 1995). The big project, which involves filling eleven floors of dirt in some places, destroys some of the surrounding neighborhoods and dramatically alters the view from the Batu Flat Cemetery and Hart Cemetery, both located at the airport property. It was added to help ease traffic problems caused by small and medium-sized aircraft landings on longer runways used by larger aircraft such as the Boeing 777, which requires longer runways than smaller aircraft. With the fifth ground, Hartsfield-Jackson is one of only a few airports that can make simultaneous landing three times. The fifth platform is expected to increase capacity for landing and take-off by 40%, from an average of 184 flights per hour to 237 flights per hour.
Along with the construction of the fifth runway, a new control tower was built to see the entire runway length. The new control tower is the highest in the United States, with a height of more than 398 feet (121 m). The old control tower, 585 feet (178 m) from the new control tower, was destroyed August 5, 2006.
The Atlanta City Council voted on October 20, 2003, to change the name of Hartsfield Atlanta International Airport to Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, in honor of former mayor Maynard Jackson, who died June 23, 2003. The board plans to rename the airport only to the Mayor Jackson, but public protests prevent this.
In April 2007 a "final taxiway" was opened, Taxiway Victor. It is estimated that it will save about $ 26 million to $ 30 million in fuel annually by allowing the aircraft to land on the northernmost runway leading to a taxi to the gate area without preventing another plane from taking off. The taxi drops about 30 feet (9.1 m) from the height of the runway to allow the take-off to continue.
After the US southeast drought in 2007, the airport (the nation's eighth largest water user) made changes to reduce water use. This includes adjusting toilets, existing 725 commode and 338 urinal, in addition to 601 sinks. (Both terminals use 917,000 gallons or an average of about 3.5 million liters per day). Also stop using firetrucks to spray water onto the plane when the pilot made the final landing before retiring (water-coated). The town of Macon offers to sell water to the airport, via the proposed pipeline.
The airport today employs about 55,300 airlines, land transportation, concessionaires, security, the federal government, Atlanta city tenants and airport tenant employees and is Georgia's largest employment center. With a salary of $ 2.4 billion, the airport has an immediate and indirect economic impact of $ 3.2 billion in local and regional economies and an annual regional economic impact of more than $ 19.8 billion. Since the opening of Concourse F in May 2012, the airport now has the most 200 gates at any airport.
In December 2015, the airport became the first airport in the world to serve 100 million passengers a year.

Expansion and renovation
In 1999, Hartsfield-Jackson's leadership established the Development Program: "Focus On the Future" involving many construction projects with the goal of preparing the airport to handle the projected demand of 121 million passengers by 2015. The program was originally budgeted at $ 5.4 billion over a ten-year period, but the total is now revised to more than $ 9 billion.
Hartsfield-Jackson Car Hire Center
The Hartsfield-Jackson Car Rental Center , which opened Dec. 8, 2009, houses all ten airport rental agencies with capacity for additional companies. The complex has 9,900 parking spaces divided between two four-story parking decks that together cover 2,800,000 square feet (260,000 m 2 ), a 137,000 square feet (12,700 m 2 ) customer service center and maintenance center for vehicles with 140 gas stations and 30 washers equipped with water recovery systems. Automatic person movers, ATL SkyTrain, runs between car rental centers, Domestic Terminals, and Gateway Centers at Georgia International Convention Center, while the four-lane road that runs Interstate 85 connects the rental car center with the existing airport road network.
Maynard H. Jackson, Jr. International Terminal
In July 2003, former Atlanta mayor Shirley Franklin announced a new terminal named for Maynard H. Jackson, Jr.. . The new international terminal will be built on the east side of the airport near International Concourse E, at a site that has been occupied by air cargo facilities and a midfield control tower. It has added twelve new gates that can accommodate wide-body jets, which can be converted into sixteen narrow gates, as well as check-in desks and baggage-only areas for international carriers only. In addition, the international terminal has its own parking space only for international passengers with more than 1,100 spaces. The arrival of international passengers whose final destination is Atlanta can keep their belongings as they proceed to get out of the airport. The new terminal is connected to Concourse E by tram and also has overland transport via I-75. The new terminal will open in 2006; However, the cost and time swell caused the former General Manager of Ben DeCosta Airport to cancel the design contract in August 2005. The next day, the architect demanded the airport claim "fraud" and "bad faith", blaming the airport authorities for the problem. In early 2007, the General Manager awarded a new design contract at the new international terminal to Atlanta Gateway Designers (AGD). Construction began in the summer of 2008. Estimates put terminal charges at $ 1.4 billion and opened on May 16, 2012. The first departure was Delta Flight # 295 to Tokyo-Narita, with the first arrival being Delta Flight # 177 from Dublin.
Accommodating Airbus A380
In addition to Concourse F which allows for the expansion of international operations, parts of some midfield taxiways have been widened from 145 feet (44 m) to 162 feet (49 m) and parts of the 27 W Runway have been widened from 220 feet (67 m) to 250 feet (76 m ) to accommodate Airbus A380 operations at the airport. Air France is considering whether they will start the A380 service from Atlanta, and Korean Air begins its daily service from Atlanta to Seoul on September 1, 2013. In addition, two adjacent gates in Concourse E, Gates E1 and E3, have been improved to allow more low-level boarding of one gate and upper level boarding of the others, allowing for fast boarding and facilitation of passengers to connect flights around the airport.
After complaints about the long running time of E1/E3 to end international passengers, the airport is now building an additional jet at the F3 Gate in Concourse F to allow the A380 to be parked there.
Concourse Modernization D
On June 6, 2011, Atlanta City Council awarded a contract to the Holders/Moody/Bryson joint venture to renovate and expand Concourse D. The plan calls for 60,000 square feet (5,600m 2 ) of added space, two escalators between the main level and the Transport Mall, three new elevators between the second and third levels, and the expansion of food, beverage and retail outlets. The project budget does not exceed $ 37 million and is set for completion in spring 2014. This expansion is completed in July 2013 with a final cost of $ 47 million, with a total of 91,000 square feet (8,500 m 2 ) of the space added.
Airport master plan
On August 28, 2014, the airport management announced a new initial master plan. Included in the preliminary master plan are replacement of existing domestic parking garages, late-time taxiways and additional cargo facilities on the south side of the airport, the addition of three new international concourses (G, H and I), Concourse E conversion for domestic use and sixth ground.
On March 10, 2016, the final 20 year master plan was finalized. The final master plan includes the following:
- Modernization of existing terminals.
- Concourse Development G.
- Concourse Expansion D.
- Extension of Concourse T.
- Turnback relocation for The Plane Train.
- Construction of a new parking deck next to Georgia International Convention Center.
- New parking space on Sullivan Road.
- Replacement of existing domestic parking garage.
- New hotels, travel plazas, and commercial complexes of mixed use.
- Changed the existing runway and taxiway.
- The sixth new foundation.
- New terminal ending around.
- Replacement and relocation of cargo buildings, fire stations, and maintenance complexes.
Proposed Concourse H and I are not currently included in the final master plan, but may be added later if demand is guaranteed by 2030 or later.
Runways
There are five runways in ATL. The five parallel runways, aligned east-west. 26R/08L and 26L/08R are to the north of the airport terminal, and 27R/09L, 27L/09R, and 28/10 are south of the airport terminal. From north to south, the runway is set:
In visual and marginal flight conditions (approximately 88% of the time), the airfield operates with arrival arrival of 26R and 27L, and 26L and 27R handling departures. The runway 28 is assigned to arrival or departure, depending on what is prioritized at the airfield. Arrival comes from the east, and departs to the west.
When the instrument conditions apply (about 12% of the time), the airfield shifts to the arrival of arrivals from the west, and departure takes off to the east. 08L and 09R handle arrival, and handle handles 08R and 09L. The runway 10 is assigned back to arrival or departure depending on airfield priority.
Passenger facilities
Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport has a terminal space and a concourse of 6,800,000 square feet (630,000 m 2 ).
Terminal
There are two terminals, the Domestic Terminal and the Maynard H. Jackson Jr. International Terminal, where passengers check in and claim bags. The Domestic Terminal is on the west side of the airport, while the International Terminal is located on the east side of the airport, and includes customs and immigration services for international passengers.
Domestic Terminal
The Domestic Terminal is on the west side of the airport. It is divided into two sides - South Terminal and North Terminal - for ticket, check-in, and baggage claims. Delta is the only tenant of Terminal South, while all other domestic airlines are in the North Terminal. Part of the building between the North Terminal and the South Terminal includes the Atrium, which is a large outdoor seating area featuring concessionaires, banks, conference rooms, interfaith chapels and offices with top security checkpoints, Land Transport Center and MARTA stations on another level.
Maynard International Terminal Holbrook Jackson Jr.
International flights arrive and depart from international terminals, either E or F concourse, located on the east side of the airport. Concourse F and new international terminal opened May 16, 2012, while E concourse opened in September 1994, in anticipation of the Summer Olympics in 1996. International pre-opening flights can arrive at T & amp; ADVERTISEMENT. International flights can also depart from T & amp; concourses A-D, such as when space is not available in E or F concourses, or when the aircraft arrives as a domestic flight and continues as an international flight. In addition, all international pre-free flights, regardless of where they come from, will collect their luggage at the international terminal.
Concourse
209 gates are located in seven concourse between Domestic and International terminals. Concourse T is connected to the Domestic Terminal. The remaining six concourses from west to east are Concourses A, B, C, D, E, and F. Concourses AD and T are used for domestic flights, while Concourses E and F are used for international flights and some domestic flights when the gates in T or AD not available, or when the aircraft arrives as an international flight and continues as a domestic flight. Concourse F connects directly to the International Terminal, while Concourse E has a special line to the International Terminal and also has its own Federal Inspection Station to connect passengers. Delta Air Lines has gates and operations in all concourse. The gates and airlines in each concourse are:
Gates
Gate at each concourse:
- Concourse Q: 17 gates (T1-T17)
- Concourse A: 29 gates (A1-A7, A9-A12, A15-A21, A24-A34)
- Concourse B: 32 gates (B1-B7, B9-B14, B16-B29, B31-B34, B36)
- Concourse C: 48 gates (C1-C22, C30-53, C55, C57)
- Concourse D: 43 gates (D1, D1A, D2-D8, D8A, D9-D11, D11A, D12-D16, D21-D42, D44, D46)
- Concourse E: 28 gates (E1-E12, E14-E18, E26-E36)
- Concourse F: 12 gates (F1-F10, F12, F14)
Airlines
When the current passenger terminal was opened in 1980, it consisted only of the domestic terminal, the northern half of the T concourse (which took place on an international flight), and the A-D concourses. Concourse E opened in 1994 for international flights in time for the 1996 Summer Olympics, held in Atlanta. After the E Concourse opens, Concourse T is converted to domestic use and the former US Customs building is converted into a special baggage claim area for American Airlines. Concourse F and International Terminal opened in 2012.
Connection between terminals and concourses
Terminals and concourses are connected by the Transportation Mall, a pedestrian tunnel with a series of moving sidewalks, and The Plane Train, the automatic person movers. The Plane Train has stations along the Transport Mall at the Domestic Terminal (which also serves Concourse T), in each of the six other concourses (including the F concourse connected to the International Terminal), and in the domestic baggage claim area. The Plane Train is the world's busiest automated system, with over 64 million riders in 2002.
At one time, there was a second underground path between Concourse B and C connecting the northern end of two concourses and allowing transfers without returning to the center of the concourse. It was built for Eastern Airlines, which occupies these two terminals. The street is now closed, and its entrance at Concourse B has been replaced by the arrival/departure monitoring bank.

Road
The domestic terminal is accessed directly from Interstate 85 at exit 72. The international terminal is accessed directly from Interstate 75 at exit 239. This highway in turn connects with the following additional highways within 10 miles: Interstate 285, Interstate 675, Georgia State Route 166, Interstate 20.
Metro
Hartsfield-Jackson also has its own railway station on the city's fast transit system, MARTA. The above ground station is inside the main building, between the north and south domestic terminals at the western end. The Airport Transit Station is currently the southernmost station in the MARTA system.
Car Hire Center
Rental Car Center (RCC) is a one-stop facility that houses 13 rental car brands and vehicles for ATL guests. Operates 24 hours a day, seven days a week, RCC is just minutes away from ATL via ATL SkyTrain, an electrically powered automatic person driving system that connects the Rental Car Center with additional parking and the airport. The following car rental companies operate from RCC: Advantage, Rent A Car Airport, Alamo, Avis, Budget, Dollar, E-Z Rent-A-Car, Enterprise, Hertz, National, Payless, Sixt and Thrifty.
ATL SkyTrain
ATL SkyTrain also serves Georgia International Convention Center, Atlanta Airport Marriott Gateway, SpringHill Suites Atlanta Airport Gateway, and opening in May 2017, Renaissance Atlanta Airport Gateway Hotel.
Other facilities
Cloud 990 Toffie Terrace, part of Hartsfield-Jackson Airport, and located within the boundary of the company City College College, is owned by the City of Atlanta. The building is now the Atlanta Police Department's Helicopter unit. It once served as the headquarters of the ExpressJet regional airline.
Prior to the merger, Atlantic Southeast Airlines headquartered in the hangar, later named A-Tech Center. In December 2007, the airline announced it would move its headquarters to a facility, previously named "North Hangar." The 203,000-square-foot hangar (18,900 m 2 ) covers 100,000 square feet (9,300m 2 ) from the hangar bay for aircraft maintenance. It has 17 acres (6.9Ã, ha) of adjacent land and 1,400 parking spaces for employees. The airline plans to move 100 employees from Macon, Georgia to the new headquarters. Atlanta City Council and Atlanta Mayor Shirley Franklin approved a new 25-year ASA lease, which also provided new hangar space for airlines to work on 15 to 25 aircraft in overnight maintenance; previously serviced aircraft in Concourse C. The airport property division stated that hangars were built in the 1960s and renovated in the 1970s. Eastern Airlines and Delta Air Lines previously occupied the hangar. The Delta lease was originally scheduled to expire in 2010, but the airline returned the lease to Atlanta City in 2005 as part of a bankruptcy settlement. City collects an insurance settlement of nearly $ 900,000 as a result of cancellation.
Restaurant contract
Restaurant contracts at the airport are worth about $ 3 billion and complaints over contracts match the historical pattern of allegations of "cronyism and political influence" at the airport. The SSP America concession company sued the City of Atlanta to challenge the method used to award the contract, but the lawsuit was dropped in 2012. The contract is awarded on a preferential basis if a business qualifies as an "airport concession harmed by a business enterprise". The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) challenges the disadvantaged business status of four businesses - Mack II's, Hojeij Branded Foods, Atlanta Restaurant Partners and Vida Concessions - although a review by the Georgia Department of Transport (GDOT) concluded in 2012 that the evidence does not support decertifying the business, and the FAA said it would review the GDOT document before it might be of interest to the US Department of Transportation. An internal GDOT audit found a calculation error in 27 of the 40 cases reviewed for disadvantaged status.
Culture
As the dominant airport in the Southern United States and the world (and the world) busiest in terms of the passengers handled (mainly because it is the main center of the Delta), the old jokes in the South insinuate that, after a person's death, regardless of whether someone goes to Heaven or Hell will connect in Atlanta to get there.
Scenes from the movie Due Date and Life as We Know It , both released in 2010, were filmed and have the scene taking place at the Hartsfield Airport. Also, the films Unaccompanied Minors and Cabin Fever , released in 2006 and 2002 respectively, also featured Hartsfield Airport.
In a parody of Star Wars Family Guy episode titled "It's a Trap!", Stewie Griffin, playing Darth Vader, joked that "Even though we're in a distant galaxy, far away, we still have to change in Atlanta."
Accidents and incidents
- On May 23, 1960, Delta Air Lines Flight 1903, a Convair CV-880-22-1 (N8804E), crashed during takeoff resulting in the loss of all four crew members. This flight is a training flight for two Delta captains that are being rated at 880.
- On February 25, 1969, the 955 East Air Line Flight was hijacked by one passenger shortly after take-off from ATL. The man withdrew a.22-caliber handgun and demanded to be flown to Cuba. He departed in Cuba while DC-8 was allowed to fly back to the US.
- On May 25, 1970 Delta Air Lines Flight 199 was hijacked over Georgia by a female passenger and his son. He asked to be taken to Cuba.
- On January 18, 1990, the Eastern Boeing 727 Aircraft stormed a Beechcraft King Air operated by Epps Air Service, based at other Atlanta airports. The Water King had landed and was sliding when 727, still at high speed on the landing strip, collided with the plane. Larger aircraft wings impact on smaller roofs. Pilot King Air, an Epps charter pilot, was killed, while a passenger survived. No crew or passengers on an injured East plane.
- On November 1, 1998, AirTran Airways Flight 867 (Boeing 737-200) lost control and slipped off the runway on landing, with the main landing gear in the trench and its settlement expanding on the taxiway. The nose gear is folded back into the electrical/electronic compartment and turns 90 degrees from its normal and long position. The cause is a non-repaired hydraulic channel leak.
- On March 13, 2012, two airport engineers tested the Delta Airlines engine (Boeing 737-700). Brakes fail during tests, and planes glide on the runway, run over the chain fence, and fall under the 25 foot embankment below. One of the airport engineers was injured, and both front landing gear and engines had to be repaired on the plane.
- On December 17, 2017, the airport suffered a power outage due to a fire at an underground Georgia Power power facility. Along with the main power system, the auxiliary system is also eliminated due to the intensity of the fire. The blackout started shortly after 1pm. ET. Tens of thousands of passengers were stranded and more than 900 outbound flights had to be canceled. Power is returned to the concourse E at 7:30 am ET. The FAA declared that the tower works throughout a power outage. However, flight operations are disrupted because concourses have no power. The effects of a power outage spill over to the following Monday with flights that continue to be canceled even though some power is restored at the airport.
