Hartsfield-Jackson has the highest number of operations of Boeing 767 aircraft in the world. It is the home of the largest 767 operator, Delta Air Lines, operating a total of 104 767s. Hartsfield-Jackson also has the second highest number of McDonnell Douglas MD-80 operations, behind Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport.


Air traffic controllers for tower and ground control operations referring to the letter "D" use the word "Dixie" instead of "Delta" to avoid confusion with Delta Air Lines aircraft.


Fifty-seven percent of Hartsfield-Jackson's airport passengers do not stay in Atlanta but go on connection flights elsewhere.
