Nashville Airport's international arrivals facility
Nashville International Airport (IATA: BNA, ICAO: KBNA, FAA LID: BNA) is a public/military airport in the southeastern section of Nashville, Tennessee, United States. The airport was established in 1937 and was originally named Berry Field, from which its ICAO and IATA identifiers are derived. The airport took on its current name in 1988, and the current terminal was built in 1987. Nashville International Airport is the busiest airport in Tennessee, with more boardings and arrivals than all other airports in the state combined.
In 2022, the airport averaged 600 daily aircraft movements and offered services to 99 destinations across the United States and several international locations. Nashville International Airport has four runways and covers 4,555 acres (1,843 hectares) of land. The airport was first served by American Airlines and Eastern Air Lines, and American Airlines had a hub at the airport in the late 20th century.
In October 2023, Allegiant Air, a Las Vegas-based airline, relocated to a newly opened satellite concourse at Nashville International Airport. This concourse is a freestanding, eight-gate facility located off the airport's C Concourse. The opening of this concourse followed the launch of the airport's new six-gate international arrivals facility in September 2023. The international arrivals facility and terminal lobby project aimed to address the increasing domestic and international passenger demand.
The design of the terminal lobby and international arrivals area was inspired by a musical instrument, featuring a sweeping canopy with guitar-like features and resemblance to musical airwaves. The innovative engineering of the "airwave" roof allowed for construction while keeping the airport operational, minimising disruptions to the 50,000 daily passengers. The airwave trusses and columns support the entire roof, eliminating the need for temporary shoring or bracing during steel erection. This design also provided weather protection during the demolition of the existing roof.
Nashville International Airport is a vital asset for Middle Tennessee and serves as a gateway to Music City. The airport offers various amenities, including free Wi-Fi, parking options, and an onsite Hilton Hotel. The terminal features a wide range of concessions, including food and beverage options, retail stores, services, and entertainment.
