Not really impressed by it. I mean look at all those smaller jets and I'm willing to bet 95% is Delta. Give me an airport with an abundance of foreign metal on wide body aircraft any day.
You obviously have not been to KATL??? That pic is a fraction of its size, its not all Delta either.

Atlanta just built a new international concourse and about 3-4 of it's concourses are Delta.
There are three other domestic airports in the LA area that cannibalize LAX flights. LAX like SFO are geared more towards trans ocean flights and major domestic cities. Chicago has Midway and Atlanta has none.
Actually, two commercial carriers are starting to utilize Peachtree-DeKalb Airport in NE Atlanta. As it is, its the second busiest airport in Georgia.
Yeah, it does really well considering how many people are flying in and out. It's peers would be airports like Kennedy or Newark and I think that it works better than them. Maybe O'Hare, but I've never flown out of O'Hare as a destination, only changed planes.
I've flown through Dallas many times, but the first time that it was a destination my mind was blown! I couldn't believe how large it was in terms of acreage. It has to be maybe 5 miles from the entrance until you get to the terminals. It might be 20 times larger in area than LAX. At least the non-restricted areas.
Yep, D/FW is huge. It covers lots of land area, 27 square miles to be exact. That's a small city.

Yeah, but it doesnt exactly have a diverse line up. 90.63% is either Delta or Air Tran/Southwest. Its to be somewhat expected from a mega hub. Atlanta has 7 foreign flags. My beloved DFW is around 75% American Airlines with 11 foreign flags.

In what way is it a benefit to passengers for an airport to have a large footprint like this?
