Nashville International Airport (BNA) is an airport in southeastern Nashville, Tennessee. The IATA Airport Code BNA is descended from one of the city's early aviation facilities—Berry Field, NAshville, which was the name of the current facility until 1988, when the name was changed to reflect plans for international flights. The airport has four runways. Berry Field Air National Guard Base is located at Nashville International Airport. The base is home to the 118th Airlift Wing, as well as the headquarters of the Tennessee Air National Guard. The airport is served by MTA bus #18. The Airport handled over 9.6 million passengers in 2006, and Over 73 thousand tons of Cargo in 2006. The Terminal Complex includes a 820,000 square-foot passenger terminal with 47 Air Carrier Gates and up to 78 Commuter Parking Positions. It contributes $3.6 billion in sales and $1.3 billion in wages and more than 39,700 jobs annually to the regional economy.
Country music is the lifeblood of Nashville, home of several landmarks where the greats of the genre have played over the years - and in some cases, continue to play. Musical attractions include the Grand Old Opry, the Ryman Auditorium and the Country Music Hall of Fame. Long before the music gained fame though, Tennessee was already putting together a long and storied history, some of which can be explored at the state Capitol building and the state museum.
