Nashville International Airport
Nashville International Airport carries the code BNA, a holdover from its original name, Berry Field, honoring aviation pioneer Colonel Harry S. Berry. The airport sits at an elevation of 599 feet and runs four runways to handle traffic into Tennessee's capital. Nashville has grown into a major Southwest Airlines focus city, and BNA now ranks among the busier airports in the southeastern United States, reflecting the metro area's population boom and its pull as a tourism destination built around country music and live entertainment. The terminal complex has expanded repeatedly over the past decade, adding concourse space and a new international arrivals facility to keep pace with passenger growth. A short drive from downtown, the airport serves as the primary gateway for business travelers, tourists heading to Music Row and the honky-tonks of Broadway, and cargo operators moving goods through Middle Tennessee. A growing slate of transatlantic and Canadian routes now supplements the domestic network, cementing BNA's role as a hub for both leisure and corporate travel across the region.
