Nashville International Airport (BNA), located in southeastern Nashville, Tennessee, was established in 1937 as Berry Field—a name that still inspires its airport code—and was officially renamed in 1988 after the current terminal opened a year earlier. As Tennessee's busiest airport, it now serves 99 destinations and averaged 600 daily aircraft movements in 2022, far surpassing all other airports in the state combined. Its rich history includes a $1.2 million debut with American and Eastern Airlines, a critical wartime role as a U.S. Army Air Forces headquarters during World War II, and a 1962 milestone as the first U.S. municipal airport to feature a public reading room. The airport underwent major expansions, including a new terminal in 1961 and the current one in 1987, and today covers a sprawling 4,555 acres with four runways. It also hosts Joint Base Berry Field, home to the Tennessee Air National Guard's 118th Wing, seamlessly blending civilian and military aviation operations.
