Phase I of Nashville International Airport's Terminal Renovation Project, the first interior renovation of the existing terminal, was completed on time and under budget in January 2009. Additions included new food, beverage and retail vendors; a consolidated security checkpoint; new concourse skylights; and new flight information displays.
Phase II began in August 2009 and is projected to be completed in 2011.
Phase II includes:
- Renovation of existing public restrooms and construction of a new restroom;
- Replacement of existing heating and air conditioning units;
- Renovation of the airline gate hold rooms; and
- Replacement of all wall coverings on the ticketing, baggage and ground transportation levels.
Phase II is a massive project, covering almost every interior inch of the terminal. And that’s what makes this phase different. Unlike Phase I, which happened mostly behind temporary construction walls, this phase of the renovation will be in the open. Signage will be posted throughout the terminal. BNA thanks you in advance for your patience during this construction period.

Nashville International Airport's consolidated checkpoint officially opened on July 30, 2008. Prior to consolidation, the security checkpoints processed travelers through a combined total of nine lanes at two separate locations. The consolidated checkpoint increases that number to 12 lanes, which are centrally located on the third floor.
