Airlines Hub: Airport and Bychris Roberts

airlines hub: If it's by number of passengers, the busiest airport is Hartsfield-Jackson in Atlanta; if it's by the sheer number of airplanes taking off and landing, the United Airlines hub in Chicago remains busier than anywhere else on the globe, according to NOW Magazine. Either way, as of Jan. 1, O'Hare is the busiest airport in the world to be newly located in a state where recreational cannabis is legal. ByChris Roberts Published on January 19, 2020 Share Tweet Whether O'Hare International Airport in Chicago is the world's busiest terminal for airline traffic depends on how you gauge such superlatives. And indeed, with recreational cannabis sales beginning in Illinois earlier this month, six out of the 10 busiest airports in the United States are now situated in states where passengers can legally load up at the nearest dispensary on their way to or from the airport which means that airline traffic in the U.S. is even more loaded with weed than it was before, and there's not much of anything anyone can do about it. That is true federal law governs the friendly skies over all 50 states, and federal law, quite famously, thinks cannabis is a highly addictive substance with no medical value but practically speaking, it's never been safer to fly with weed. You may hear that boarding an aircraft while carrying cannabis is illegal in the United States. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
