Hartsfield-Jackson welcomed more than 50 airport and transportation officials from 23 countries to Atlanta to share best practices in air service development. The Airport partnered with CIFAL Atlanta, a United Nations agency that trains world leaders across a variety of sectors. 

Among the presenters during the two-day forum was interim New Business Development Director Jason Terreri who walked the participants through the steps Hartsfield-Jackson takes when it meets with potential new carriers. Marketing and Stakeholder Engagement Director Myrna White discussed the role effective stakeholder engagement plays in airport development, including during the design and construction of the fifth runway. 

Since 2006, Hartsfield-Jackson has collaborated with the United Nations, CIFAL Atlanta and Airports Council International to create a venue for open dialogue between public sector officials and business leaders, while creating an opportunity for fruitful interaction and development of partnerships. .

“Even though we are the world’s busiest airport, there are still many lessons we can learn from our global aviation colleagues,” said Aviation General Manager Louis Miller. “We are a global aviation community, and when one of us does well, it is a benefit to our entire industry.
