So just tear down Hapeville, Delta HQ, the Delta RES center, Delta Credit Union, part of College Park, all of Virginia Ave, North/South central Avenue, Wells Fargo Operation Center, and a very large and old cemetery?
I mean, the dead people probably don’t care, but everyone else....?

Pilots can get drive-thru for passengers on delayed flights. In all seriousness though, the airport would have to destroy an entire city. Hapeville isn’t exactly the hood anymore. People with money have moved in and transformed it into a nice place to live. The wealthy in Buckhead may not like having to send their kids to a “lesser” school when the 118 year old Woodward Academy is bulldozed.

I am not sure who is joking and who is serious.
There is a plan for a 6th runway just north of the 5th runway which is south of the airport. I am skeptical that will happen, but if it does it does not impact the areas discussed.
