Nashville International Airport

BNA Airport: live flight status at Nashville airport

Southwest Airlines dominates what our receivers pick up at BNA Airport: 107 of the aircraft observations we logged there in 30 days belonged to that one carrier. BNA is Nashville International Airport (ICAO: KBNA), a large airport serving the city of Nashville in the United States, located at 36.1245 north, 86.6782 west. Traffic runs at a moderate level, with our own 30-day reception measurement recording an average of 7.3 aircraft observations per day near the airport. The live radar on this page shows the aircraft arriving at and departing from BNA as it happens, with the arrivals and departures pages linked above it for flight times and status; the sections below add the measured traffic picture behind that radar.

What our receivers measured at BNA

The figures in this section come from our own reception measurement: 30 days of aircraft logged near Nashville International. The busiest window in that measurement fell between 22:00 and 24:00. One thing to keep in mind: our measuring clock runs in UTC, so that window does not translate one-to-one to Nashville's local hours; convert it before you set it against an evening at the airport, and treat it as the stretch where our receivers logged the most aircraft rather than as a published peak. Read all of these figures as a measured sample of what our receivers could pick up, not as an official traffic count.

Airlines we measured at Nashville

The Southwest lead mentioned above is wide: no other carrier comes close in our BNA sample. If you are following a specific flight with the carrier, see the Southwest Airlines flight status page. American Airlines appears 20 times in the same sample and Delta Air Lines 17 times, so both are a steady but much smaller presence in what we receive at Nashville. Each has its own link here as well: check American Airlines flight status or track a Delta flight. Those counts are measurements over the 30-day window, not a share of all traffic at BNA.

Alternative airports near BNA

Nashville International has no measured alternative close by; the nearest airports in our data all sit more than 150 km out. Huntsville International Airport is the closest at 166 km, Northwest Alabama Regional Airport follows at 175 km, and Chattanooga Metropolitan Airport (Lovell Field) lies 180 km away. All three distances are of the same order, which makes none of them a quick fallback: if a diversion or a fare comparison points you to one of these airports, plan for the trip rather than a short hop.
