Nashville BNA Airport announces $1.4B in improvements

Officials with the Nashville International Airport (BNA) have announced $1.4 billion worth of improvements to the facility by late 2028. The plans call for a free-standing satellite concourse near the main terminal to provide more gates to accommodate anticipated growth of air travel demand in Middle Tennessee. In addition to meeting the needs of incremental passenger growth post-pandemic, the availability of the new satellite concourse will enable construction of an expanded Concourse A in the future. Other parts of the project include extensions and improvements for two concourses, a new air freight facility, terminal roadway improvements to ease traffic into and out of the terminal and garages, and baggage handling system improvements. The airport’s fifth major concourse is slated to open in late 2023, along with several other projects under way with the airport’s ongoing expansion and renovation
