Narrative:
An agreement between atl approach control and ZTL specifies altitude assignments and departure gates for aircraft depending on their type of aircraft and route of flts. The aircraft, air carrier X should have been cleared through the #2 gate by atl approach, but was cleared through the #1 gate instead, resulting in an airspace violation. The violation was reported to the ZTL supervisor, but I am unaware of the results of their investigation, if any.

Title: ZTL CTLR RECOGNIZES THAT A80 HAS RTED AN ACR THROUGH THE WRONG DEP GATE AS PER LOA.
Narrative: AN AGREEMENT BTWN ATL APCH CTL AND ZTL SPECIFIES ALT ASSIGNMENTS AND DEP GATES FOR ACFT DEPENDING ON THEIR TYPE OF ACFT AND RTE OF FLTS. THE ACFT, ACR X SHOULD HAVE BEEN CLEARED THROUGH THE #2 GATE BY ATL APCH, BUT WAS CLEARED THROUGH THE #1 GATE INSTEAD, RESULTING IN AN AIRSPACE VIOLATION. THE VIOLATION WAS REPORTED TO THE ZTL SUPVR, BUT I AM UNAWARE OF THE RESULTS OF THEIR INVESTIGATION, IF ANY.
