Nashville International Airport (IATA: BNA, ICAO: KBNA) is an airport in southeastern Nashville, Tennessee. The IATA Airport Code BNA is descended from one of the city's early aviation facilities—Berry Field, NAshville, which was the name of the current facility until 1988, when the name was changed to reflect plans for international flights. The airport has four runways.
BNA currently serves as a focus city for Southwest Airlines. Nashville International Airport was an American Airlines hub in the late 1980s and early 1990s. It is served by 11 airlines, with an average of 455 daily commercial and air taxi flights. BNA averages a total of 589 commercial, general aviation, air taxi, and military flight operations per day.[1] Direct flights are available to 42 domestic destinations and three international.
The current passenger facility on Donelson Pike was opened in 1987, and was designed for the American Airlines hub facilities. It replaced a smaller facility on the other side of the runways, accessed from Briley Parkway. The former facility dated back to 1961, and was demolished in 1989. It was the setting for several scenes in the 1975 Robert Altman film Nashville.
Berry Field Air National Guard Base is located at Nashville International Airport. The base is home to the 118th Airlift Wing, as well as the headquarters of the Tennessee Air National Guard.
Concourse D
This concourse, currently closed by the Metro Nashville Airport Authority (MNAA), was constructed as a ground level commuter terminal for American Eagle. All American Eagle flights operated out of Concourse D until, as a cost cutting measure after 9/11, all American Eagle flights were moved to Concourse C to share gates with American Airlines. For a short period of time, Concourse D was used by Corporate Airlines to operate its own regional flights until it became an American Connection and Continental Connection regional affiliate.[2] Currently, the MNAA has no plans to reopen Concourse D.
