As for the TRACON, it has some of the busiest satellite airspace, as well as the most complex, in the world. Plus it is THE approach control for the busiest airport in the world. Never a slow or dull moment.

For the Tower, simply put it is THE busiest airport in the world.

TRACON does about 3500 ops a day, even on a slow day. Throw in special events, military and two major corporate airports within 10 NM of ATL and it can get quite hairy.
