Nashville International Airport to change its name to Dolly Parton International Airport
The change would cost $8 million to $10 million and keep the BNA code while the board removes a rule limiting airport names.
- On Friday, The Metro Nashville Airport Authority Board will vote on a resolution to rename Nashville International Airport as Dolly Parton International Airport, with all seven members expected to approve unanimously.
- The board will also move to eliminate Rule 2010-33, which requires that airport properties be named only for people dead for at least two years, following a public petition garnering more than 175,000 signatures.
- Renaming the facility is expected to cost between $8 million and $10 million, funded by Metro, State, and airport resources; the airport will retain its BNA designation to honor Col. Harry S. Berry.
- Once the vote is confirmed, the administrative process with the FAA will begin, with officials estimating the full transition will take six months to a year before travelers book flights under the new name.
- Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee and Nashville Mayor Freddie have publicly supported the renaming, while Parton's family and foundation also appear to be in agreement with the renaming effort.
