Beginning Tuesday, July 8, travelers at Nashville International Airport will have access to five more gates, additional food options, and the airport’s first outdoor terrace thanks to the new Concourse D extension.

The ~162,000-sqft addition features:

  • A rotunda with panoramic views and terrace access
  • A moving walkway lined with a 180-ft art installation
  • Eight new food, drink, and retail options, including a 4,000-sqft Nashville SC-themed restaurant
  • Three large-scale art pieces from local and national artists

This is the first project completed under BNA’s $3 billion New Horizon expansion — a long-term plan that also includes upgrades to terminal roads, baggage systems, and additional concourse work through 2029.
