ATLANTA (AP)-- Two airlines have agreed to make supplementary terminal rental payments of $30 million over four years to support bond financing for the international terminal at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport.

Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed announced the deal on Tuesday between the city and Delta Air Lines and AirTran Airways.

Reed and interim airport manager Robert Kennedy said the supplemental payments will enable the airport to get bond financing by the end of this year to complete the international terminal in 2012. The goal would then be to repay the airlines.

Reed also announced Tuesday his signing of a new seven-year lease with Orlando-based AirTran, following the Atlanta city council's approval of the AirTran lease in July.
