How Many Gates and Terminals Does Atlanta Airport Have?
ATL lists 198 gates (155 domestic, 43 international) across 2 terminals and 7 concourses. Gates per concourse, and what it means for your walk.
ATL’s fact sheet counts 198 gates, 155 domestic and 43 international, spread over two terminals and seven concourses. About 286,000 passengers a day share them.
How the terminals and concourses fit together
The Domestic Terminal has check-in, domestic baggage claim, MARTA and ride share. The International Terminal has international baggage claim, Global Entry and taxis, plus Delta check-in.
Concourse T adjoins the Domestic Terminal, and Concourse F adjoins the International Terminal. Concourses A, B, C, D and E stand apart out on the airfield, and the Plane Train links them to the Domestic and International Terminals. ATL’s fact sheet puts Concourses T, A, B, C and D with the Domestic Terminal and E and F with the International Terminal.
Our airlines page shows which terminal each carrier checks in at. Our flights page links each airline’s page, but it doesn’t show live gates.
Gates on each concourse
| Concourse | Gates on ATL’s map |
|---|---|
| T | 21 |
| A | 29 |
| B | 32 |
| C | 34 |
| D | 31 |
| E | 32 |
| F | 12 |
ATL’s map labels 191 of the 198 gates, and the table counts those. Gate numbers also skip. Concourse C reaches C55, but our concourse map lists 34 gates, so the last number on a concourse isn’t its gate count.
Reaching your concourse
Your gate number starts with a letter, and that letter is the concourse, so B14 is on Concourse B.
- Concourse T or F: the concourse adjoins a terminal, and the Plane Train serves it too.
- Concourse A, B, C, D or E: ride the Plane Train from the terminal. It runs underground about every two minutes, ATL says.
Between the two terminals
A free shuttle leaves from the curb outside the International Terminal and drops passengers at the west end of the Domestic Terminal, according to ATL’s maps page. ATL’s fact sheet puts that ride at 15 minutes. Our International Terminal shuttle page covers the ride from the arrivals level.
What the airport doesn’t publish
ATL’s fact sheet gives no ride time or walking distance between concourses. If you have a tight connection, use the Wayfinder map on ATL’s maps page, which searches terminals, concourses and gates.
The site atlanta.com says over 190 gates, a rougher figure than the fact sheet’s 198.
