Atlanta is a corporate city, and most private flights on this route are business trips to company headquarters, banks and consultancies in Buckhead, Midtown and the northern suburbs. DeKalb-Peachtree Airport, a few miles north-east of Buckhead, is the usual arrival point and avoids the scale of Hartsfield-Jackson, one of the busiest airline airports in the world. Same-day returns are common. Big events, such as major college football games and concerts, add weekend leisure traffic in season.
