The approach to the Atlanta Hartford Jackson International Airport reveals a view of aircraft traffic synchronization. Communications between the pilots and air traffic controllers are audible on channel nine of the in flight entertainment system. It is generally estimated that the airport handles over 230,000 passengers daily and is ranked the world’s busiest airport by passenger traffic, including the number of take offs and landings. As I work my necks muscles, and strain my eyes to get the best view of this statistics from my aerial vantage position, my thoughts meander through a complex maze of operations that optimize such volume of traffic. Could this have been possible decades ago? How much preparations go into planning for an increase in such traffic volume? What kind of daily statistics is gathered to effectively plan for the future? As we march into the future in a world that has changed so dramatically in the last few years, we are left with no choice but to adapt and be part of the process.
