## Description

Charlie Brown Field is what locals call Fulton County Executive Airport (FTY/KFTY), a general-aviation reliever about ten kilometres west of downtown Atlanta. Business jets, police and medical helicopters and flight schools share its runways, and a control tower staffed around the clock makes it one of only two 24/7-towered fields in metro Atlanta — the area's third-busiest airport. No scheduled flights operate and no air cargo is handled: there is no freight terminal or cargo customs on site, so commercial freight belongs to nearby Hartsfield-Jackson (ATL). For private aircraft, FTY is a CBP-listed general-aviation port of entry rather than a cargo hub. Shippers route consignments through Atlanta Hartsfield-Jackson, one of the busiest cargo airports in the United States.
