Atlanta is the busiest airport in the world and I am always shocked by that fact.

Yeah, considering it's not that big a city (compared to some others)

Compared to what? The Atlanta metro area is the 7th largest in the US and 69th in the world.

True, Atlanta is a sizable city, but I guess people wouldn’t have thought that the 1st busiest airport would be in the 69th largest city.

I didn't say it's not big, I just said that it's smaller compared to some other cities. You'd expect Las Angeles' LAX to be at the top, or close. Above Atlanta at least

LAX has the Pacific Ocean to constrict its traffic. Pretty much every other large city in the US has two airports at least besides Philly and Boston which are fairly close to New York. Next biggest city with only one is Detroit, which is also a very busy airport.
