On time with Nashville International Airport

As the busiest travel season of the year approaches, we check in on Nashville International Airport.

From its origins as Berry Field to its current status as a busy hub for one of the fastest-growing metro areas in the country, BNA holds an important place in our city — and its growth. The airport is in the middle of a significant expansion. How big will it get, and what will it mean for the future of Nashville?
