Nashville International Airport reveals new 40-foot, illuminating BNA monument

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WZTV) — Nashville International Airport reveals a new 40-foot tall BNA monument at the entrance of the airport.

The vibrant monument, located at 1 Terminal Drive off Interstate 40, showcases Nashville's airport code, BNA.

As we celebrate a record-breaking fiscal year in 2022 with 18.4 million passengers, it’s important to have a front entrance that commands attention and welcomes our passengers every day.

BNA stands for Berry Field Nashville in honor of Colonel Harry S. Berry, the airport’s first administrator.

The monument will light up at sunset every day, illuminating the entrance to BNA with its bright blue and yellow colors.

"Over the past several years, our airport code, BNA, has become recognizable to both passengers and visitors alike and celebrates our history. Now, we're thrilled to have a monument with a familiar identifier that embraces passengers the moment you enter our grounds," Kreulen says.
