Nashville International Airport (BNA) is a joint civil-military airport located 13km (8 miles) south-east of Nashville. Having recently undergone a five-year renovation plan, the vastly improved airport building now comprises an enormous passenger terminal with 47 gates and four concourses.
A mid-sized airport offering warm service and adequate shopping and dining options, with a strong emphasis on honouring and promoting the state’s rich musical heritage, Nashville International serves as a pleasant gateway to the greater Tennessee region. Like all airports, queues can sometimes be lengthy (especially during holidays); however, operations are generally smooth and staff efficient.
