The city estimates the service will generate $8 million to $12 million in annual economic impact for metro Atlanta and the Southeast, and will create six jobs. According to the city, all of the top 10 global cargo airlines except for Emirates operate at Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport.

Air France, a partner of Atlanta-based Delta Air Lines, already operates passenger flights into Atlanta.
