Nashville International Airport (BNA) has unveiled its new BNA monument to welcome passengers to the entrance of the airport, which is currently undergoing expansion and improvement plans.
The 40ft monument showcases the BNA airport code, which stands for Berry Field Nashville in honour of Colonel Harry S. Berry, the airport's first administrator.
Each evening, the monument will be lit at sunset to illuminate the airport's entrance in Nashville, Tennessee
Doug Kreulen, President and CEO of BNA said:
"As we celebrate a record-breaking fiscal year in 2022 with 18.4 million passengers, it's important to have a front entrance that commands attention and welcomes our passengers every day. Nashville is known for its skyline and iconic identifiers. Over the past several years, our airport code, BNA, has become recognizable to both passengers and visitors alike and celebrates our history. Now, we're thrilled to have a monument with a familiar identifier that embraces passengers the moment you enter our grounds."
This recognisable entrance is part of BNA's transformation and improvement plans and marks the airport's progress following the COVID-19 pandemic.
