Nashville International Airport Keeps Flying Higher with Another Banner Year

The 2023-24 fiscal year for Nashville International Airport - BNA came to a close on June 30, carrying with it another new high mark of passengers ushered through the airport’s doors.

More than 23.7 million passengers traveled through BNA during the 2023-24 fiscal year — an average of nearly 65,000 passengers per day — which represents a growth of 8.4% over the 2022-23 fiscal year. That’s also more than double the mark from 10 years ago, when the airport welcomed 10.6 million passengers during the 2013-14 fiscal year.

The 2023-24 fiscal year at BNA finished with a flourish, thanks to a single-month record of 2.36 million passengers in June 2024, a 14.2% jump over June 2023.

The airport continues to grow to meet the growing demand, having just completed a $1.5 billion expansion project which included the opening of a Hilton hotel on airport property. Additional plans will increase the number of gates from 54 to 70, with additional discussions now in progress for an evaluation on where to build a second airport terminal.

Thanks to Nashville’s expansive sports, music and tourism scene, and the constant growth of corporations arriving to and expanding within Music City — bringing with them waves of new residents — the airport has become a hotbed for those eager to live in and enjoy Nashville. The Nashville Stars look forward to welcoming fans into BNA for Major League Baseball games as a focal point of their future trips to Music City.
