Supply Chain Logistics Advantages of Atlanta, Georgia
Strategic Location
As the logistics and transportation hub of the Southeast, Atlanta offers unmatched market reach—80% of the U.S. population can be reached within a two-hour flight or a two-day truck drive. This strategic position enables fast, cost-effective connections to both domestic and international markets.
Comprehensive Transportation Infrastructure
Atlanta is anchored by Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, the world’s busiest and most efficient airport. The airport moves over 650,000 metric tons of cargo annually and is supported by 32 major air carriers. The region also features Georgia’s top-ranked interstate system with 1,200 miles of interstates (I-20, I-75, I-85, and I-95) and 20,000 miles of federal and state highways, ensuring rapid over-the-road distribution.
Port & Rail Connectivity
The Port of Savannah, America’s top seaport for exports of U.S.-made goods, is the third-busiest and fastest-growing container gateway in the country. On-terminal rail service from both Norfolk Southern and CSX provides direct connections to major inland markets. With more than 2,000 refrigerated container slots, it leads the East and Gulf coasts in reefer capacity. Georgia also operates the Southeast’s largest rail network, spanning 5,000 miles and connecting to two Class I railroads and 24 short-line operators.
Technology-Driven Logistics
Hartsfield-Jackson is home to North America’s first Air Cargo Community System (ACCS), enabling shippers, carriers, freight forwarders, and customs brokers to exchange data electronically. This system reduces redundant processes, streamlines documentation, and lowers logistics costs while improving supply chain visibility.
Robust Workforce
Georgia’s workforce includes more than 5.1 million people, making it the second-largest labor pool in the Southeast. Ranked among the top states for access to qualified labor, the state’s talent base continues to grow thanks to steady in-migration and strong workforce development programs.
