History

The airport was opened in June 1937 under the name Berry Field. It extends over 1.4 km ².

During the Second World War it was used by the United States Army Air Forces, today's United States Air Force.

Only in 1961 a larger terminal was opened to handle the increasing passenger and air traffic. In 1987, the current terminal building was taken on Donelson Pike in operation since American Airlines here wanted to build one of its hubs. In addition, the airport was renamed a year later because of its international connections in its present name Nashville International Airport. But the old name still appeared in the IATA code, because BNA stands for Berry Field Nashville.
