FAA Southern Region

About FAA Southern

The Southern Region administers the country's busiest airport (Atlanta Hartsfield-Jackson) along with the Florida vacation gateways, the Carolinas, the Caribbean territories, and a thick layer of mid-size regional airports across the Southeast. The FAA assigns each airport in the United States to one of nine administrative regions; this region's office at College Park, GA handles airport certification, safety inspections, federal-grant coordination, and overall coordination with the air-traffic-control facilities physically inside its territory.

For travelers, the most useful thing to know about a region is which of its airports is the closest hub for the trip you are planning, and which secondary or regional airports could spare you a longer drive to the major hub. The featured airports below cover the largest gateways inside the Southern Region, and the state list below that gives you a way to drill into every public-use airport the region covers.
