Hartsfield-Jackson
Atlanta International Airport said it hit a major milestone Sunday. The airport that calls
itself the world's busiest announced on its social media sites said it served
its 100 millionth passenger this year. That makes it the first single airport
to serve that number of passengers in one calendar year.
Associated Press report continues:
The
passenger earning the distinction is Larry Kendrick of Gulfport, Mississippi,
who will receive a Nissan Altima, two free Delta round trip plane tickets and a
$500 gift card. Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed welcomed a surprised Kendrick, who
walked down a red carpet as journalists and onlookers recorded the moment.
Hartsfield-Jackson general
manager Miguel Southwell says the airport had a 5 percent increase in passenger
counts this year.
