Hartsfield-Jackson in the news

Hartsfield-Jackson’s and Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed’s participation in The International Air Cargo Association (TIACA) November 2-4 in Amsterdam, The Netherlands, received widespread media coverage.

Stories in The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Atlanta Business Chronicle and Global Atlanta outlined the primary objectives for being involved with the conference: to promote Hartsfield-Jackson as a leader in cargo operations and to recruit more cargo airlines to do business in Atlanta.

A WSB-TV Channel 2 report led with the news that Atlanta will host TIACA, the industry’s premier international conference, in 2012. The station also quoted Hartsfield-Jackson General Manager Louis Miller and others regarding the Airport’s capacity to expand its cargo operation.
