NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) — If you plan to put “more travel” on your New Year’s resolutions list, then 2025 is shaping up to be a good year, especially if you choose to travel from Nashville International Airport (BNA).
2024 marked a big year for BNA, as the airport introduced new programs, broke records and completed construction projects.
In fact, during BNA’s busiest travel period—Fall break— 107,000 arriving, layover and departing passengers were screened on Sunday, Oct. 6, which set a new record.
Among the high travel numbers, BNA has received national accolades this year. In January, data compiled by aviation analytics company Cirium found that Nashville International Airport was one of the most punctual airports in the world.
According to J.D. Power’s “North American Airport Satisfaction Study,” BNA ranked among the best large airports in the country when it came to customer satisfaction.
Throughout the year of steady growth, the airport announced the launch of several new, nonstop routes that passengers in Music City can utilize starting in 2025.
