The Nashville International Airport (BNA) is at the center of a debate over its name, with competing proposals aiming to rename it after President Donald Trump, country music legend Dolly Parton, or retain its current moniker.
Nashville International Airport could be facing a name change , with a bill proposed by Rep. Todd Warner of North Carolina aiming to rename it after President Donald Trump . Warner, a Republican from Chapel Hill, enjoys the backing of several Tennessee Republican lawmakers. \However, another proposal is gaining traction, supported by a petition nearing 2,000 signatures. This petition advocates for renaming the airport after country music icon Dolly Parton .
\The petition highlights Parton's contributions to society, particularly her Imagination Library program, which has distributed over 100 million books to children since its inception in 1995. Another group simply wishes to maintain the airport's current name, Nashville International Airport (BNA). This is because the airport's code, BNA, stands for Berry Field Nashville, honoring Colonel Harry S. Berry, a World War I veteran who played a key role in establishing the airport in 1937. The outcome of this airport naming debate remains to be seen. Will the airport honor Colonel Berry's legacy, embrace Trump's influence, or become a tribute to Dolly Parton
