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 was an American Airlines hub in the late 1980s and early 1990s. As of 2006, BNA is served by 11 airlines operating 424 average daily flights and is a focus city for Southwest Airlines.

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.

Nashville International Airport has four concourses. Of which, only three are actually in use (A,B,C).

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. As of August 2006, the MNAA has no plans to reopen Concourse D.

Nashville International Airport is home to a Delta Air Lines Crown Room Club located adjacent to gate B3.

On October 31, 2006, American Airlines announced plans to reopen the Admirals Club located above gate C12. The facility, which was closed after September 11, 2001, is scheduled to open in Spring 2007.

The airport has seen considerable growth in its cargo offerings in recent years with the addition of a small FedEx Express sorting facility and a six times a week daily flight to Taipei, Taiwan via China Airlines and their fleet of 20 Boeing 747-400F freighters. Other daily scheduled cargo carriers are DHL, AirbornExpress, Capital Cargo International, Kitty Hawk Air Cargo, and ATI International Carriers.
