Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport (ATL) has implemented new regulations in compliance with legislation passed earlier this year by the Atlanta City Council

Going forward, access to the airport will be restricted 24/7 to ticketed passengers, personnel, individuals meeting or greeting passengers, those performing facility maintenance, and others who have legitimate business to conduct at the airport, which is publicly owned and operated by the City of Atlanta.

The legislation covers the Domestic and International terminals, ATL SkyTrain, Rental Car Center, and parking decks.

The rationale for the legislation is, first and foremost, safety. This legislation enhances ATL’s ongoing work to maintain a secure and safe environment for passengers, workers, and vendors at Hartsfield-Jackson, the airport said. Violators are subject to arrest and prosecution.
