Hartsfield-Jackson in the news

The Airport’s positive news from credit rating agency Fitch Inc. was reported by Business Wire and Aviation News in late October. Fitch reaffirmed high ratings on outstanding bonds and issued high ratings on new bonds, while calling the bond outlook stable.

The bonds will be used to finance the Maynard H. Jackson Jr. International Terminal, which also made the news early in October. The Atlanta Business Chronicle reported on October 4 that the Atlanta City Council voted unanimously to approve the final installment of bond financing to complete work on the terminal, which is set to be complete in spring 2012.
