'Secrets of Atlanta's Airport': A rare behind-the-scenes look

ATLANTA — It takes a lot to keep the world’s busiest airport running smoothly day in and day out.

Some of that work is visible to the millions of people who pass through Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport each year. But much of it is behind the scenes in secure areas rarely seen by the public.

Channel 2 is taking you inside those areas you’ve never seen before in our special program, “Secrets of Atlanta’s Airport.”

From the tarmac, where every second counts, to security sweeps, to the back rooms with U.S. Customs and  Border Protection Officers.

“This is arguably the most interesting part of the airport,” an officer told Channel 2’s Craig Lucie.

We’ll give you a rare behind the scenes look inside one of metro Atlanta’s biggest employers, and the billion-dollar plan to keep the title of “World’s Busiest Airport,” in our Family2Family special on Wednesday, June 14 at 8 p.m. on Channel 2.
