It is 90 minutes by jet aircraft from 2/3 of the nation's population, and is served by such leading airlines as Eastern, Delta, TWA, Southern, Pan American, Northwest and United Airlines. These major carriers operate more than 500 scheduled flights each day making Atlanta one of the busiest airports in the world.
Atlanta is the business center of the southeast; also, an outlet for most national companies. Atlanta is served by 47 of the 50 largest insurance companies, 22 of the largest merchandisers, and 38 of the 50 largest transportation companies. As the region's financial center, Atlanta is the site of the 6th federal reserve district bank, with 42 banks and trust companies, including nine national banks.
