Hartsfield-Jackson International's assistant general manager of planning and development Frank Rucker is departing the airport, and leaving his role leading a $6 billion expansion and modernization.

Rucker’s last day working for the world’s busiest airport will be July 7, when he will leave for a position at Jacobs Engineering Group in Singapore.

"While organizational change can be challenging, I am confident that our team will adjust and move forward quickly and seamlessly," wrote Hartsfield-Jackson general manager Roosevelt Council in a letter to airport staff.
