In recent years Nashville International Airport has been striving to increase its air cargo capacity and keep up with the growing passenger volume. It had announced an investment worth of 1.4 billion dollars for improvement and expansion, which is scheduled to be completed in late 2023. The investment plan involves building two concourses, adding a new airfreight building, upgrading the current terminal roadways, and making the baggage handling system more efficient to use. In doing so, different cargo requirements of airlines will be better met and the future passenger flow can be well managed.

BNA is also a major hub for passengers, serving more than 17 million each year.
