General

Nashville International opened for business in 1937 on a 340-acre tract. The airport has been expanded and developed over the years to meet increased demand. It now covers more than 4,460 acres of land and is located 8 miles from downtown Nashville. Currently, 16 scheduled airlines serve the airport, 9 of which have entered into Signatory Airport Airline Agreements with the Authority. These Agreements provide for the use and lease of airport facilities and payments sufficient to assure the fiscal integrity of the airport. As of December 2004, the scheduled airlines operate 212 average daily departures providing same plane or nonstop service to 83 cities. Fifty-nine of these cities are served nonstop.

Nashville International is also a center for general aviation, with 183 based aircraft and two fixed-base operators. It is home of the Tennessee Air National Guard, one of the largest Air National Guard facilities in the country.

A spacious 750,000-square-foot, state-of-the-art passenger terminal opened in Nashville on October 14, 1987, with 46 air carrier gates and 17 commuter aircraft parking positions, more than twice the number of gates and almost four times the square footage of previous terminal facilities. This terminal, designed to accommodate expansion of up to 60 gates,was expanded to 775,000 square feet with 25 commuter aircraft parking positions in early 1991. In 1993, a concourse connector was added to aid passengers moving from one concourse to another. This brought the terminal area up to 795,000 square feet. In 1994, a new International Arrivals Building brought the passenger terminal to 820,000 square feet. Commuter aircraft parking positions also increased in 1994.
