Atlanta's second airport is an idea being studied by the city of Atlanta, Georgia, United States. In May 2007, the Federal Aviation Administration released the report, "Capacity Needs in the National Airspace System, 2007–2025" as part of its Future Airport Capacity Task (FACT2). The report identified Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport and the Atlanta metropolitan area as needing additional capacity by 2025. Following the report release, Atlanta was given a $1 million federal grant to study the possibility of adding another airport.
Both Delta Air Lines and AirTran Airways, which both operate their primary hubs in Atlanta, expressed skepticism about building a second airport.
