A pre-flight safety briefing (also known as a pre-flight demonstration, in-flight safety briefing, in-flight safety demonstration, safety instructions, or simply the safety video) is a detailed explanation given before take-off to ...
With the fifth runway, Hartsfield–Jackson is one of only a few airports that can perform triple simultaneous landings. [34] The fifth runway was expected to increase the capacity for landings and take-offs by 40%, from an average of 184 flights per hour to 237 flights per hour. [35] A view of the International Concourse E and control tower at ...
