What's in store for 2009

By November, Hartsfield-Jackson's state-of-the-art Consolidated Rental Car (CONRAC) facility will open for business. When it's up and running, CONRAC will house all Airport rental car agencies.

"This major initiative is the direct result of local and state agencies and contractors working together to build a convenient, state-of-the-art facility," said Dan Molloy, assistant general manager for capital development. "It will improve the experience for the millions of business and leisure travelers to Atlanta."
