Music City looks forward to Nashville International Airport's (BNA) terminal transformation. The Metropolitan Nashville Airport Authority (MNAA) is dedicated to keeping BNA's customers updated with the latest renovation information via newspaper, radio and www.flynashville.com, so all passengers and guests will be fully aware of what to expect in the way of construction when they arrive at BNA.
Phase 1 of the terminal renovation project kicked off in October 2006 and is scheduled to be complete in the first quarter of 2009. This project includes a broad array of local and national name brand restaurants and gift shops; a consolidated, 11-lane passenger security checkpoint; improved flight information displays for arrivals and departures; 16 new skylights; and new floor and wall coverings in areas of construction. This overall terminal transformation ultimately will reveal a premier facility to enhance the passenger experience and provide a wonderful introduction to Music City.
The first wave of improvements opened on July 6, 2007. Customers are now enjoying new restaurants and retail shops in the C Concourse triangle, including:
- Baja Burrito
- Burger King
- Famous Famiglia
- O'Charley's
- Quizno's
- Fly Babies
- Radio Road
- Spirit of the Red Horse
- Sunglass Hut
- Hudson News
The second wave of construction opened between January and March 2008, Featuring these new restaurants and retail shops:
- Provence Breads, Gibson Cafe, Whitt's Barbecue, Swett's, Tootsies Orchid Lounge, Hudson News and Booksellers featuring Papyrus and Sony BMG in the C Concourse
- Kids Works/Nashville Zoo, Starbucks Coffee, Hudson News and Booksellers featuring Papyrus, CMT and Discover Nashville in the C Concourse triangle
- Noshville New York Deli, Tootsies Orchid Lounge, Wendy's, Manchu Wok, and Villa Pizza in the A/B Apex
- In Celebration of Golf/Life is Good on the B Concourse
Construction inside the terminal will not impact travel. What you may notice once you enter the terminal are new, large, flight information displays above the ticket counters. These large displays are for departures only. Temporary arrival information displays will be located adjacent to the stair/escalators by the Delta and American ticket counters.
Once through passenger security, you may notice temporary dust walls segregating construction and public areas, scaffolding for skylight construction, and temporary signage to help guide you through the terminal. You may occasionally see small construction activity occurring in the corridors of the concourses and areas of concrete flooring without carpet covering. Please watch your step and be careful when encountering such areas. We assure you this inconvenience is necessary to achieve our final transformation.
MNAA thanks you in advance for your patience during this construction period. |
