BNA Nashville

How deep the BNA board really is

The table above says where a courier can fly from BNA. This reads the same 201 destinations back for the questions a dispatcher asks second: how much of the board rests on one airline, how much of it runs less than daily, whether the return leg is as thick as the outbound, what the clock here does to a Gulf working day and which of the destinations shut at night, all of it computed on 2026-09-07 from AeroDataBox scheduled route statistics.

• 109of the 201 destinations are flown by one airline
• 110destinations run less than once a day
• 32destinations have four or more departures a day
• 35.8%of the destinations name Southwest Airlines, the largest presence here

Who holds the departures at BNA

70 airlines appear on the BNA board and they do not hold it evenly. Southwest Airlines is on 72 of the 201 destinations, 35.8 per cent of them, and on 16 of those it is the only airline flying the sector. The destinations it appears on carry 316.9 of the 413.4 departures a day this airport files, though other airlines fly some of the same sectors, so read that as reach rather than as a share of the aircraft.

The next largest presence is NetJets Aviation on 32 destinations. 33 of the 70 airlines at BNA appear on a single destination each, which is the long tail every airport carries, and none of it is a rebooking option when the sector you need is the one that fell over.

That is a middling concentration at BNA: one airline on 35.8 per cent of the destinations and the other 64.2 per cent spread across 69 airlines. A cancellation inside the Southwest Airlines network is often survivable inside the same booking, but on the 129 destinations Southwest Airlines does not touch, a rebooking means moving to a carrier the desk has to check for a through fare first.

How much of the BNA board is daily

Of the 201 destinations, 91 are flown at least once a day and 110 are not, 55 of them running once a week or less. The median destination on the BNA board is flown 4 times a week.

An average of 0.14 flights a day is the schedule statistic, and it is worth translating it before anything is promised to anybody: BNA to Winston-Salem (INT) is about one a week, so a missed departure there is not a delay of hours, it is the next slot.

The five busiest destinations carry 67.9 of the 413.4 departures a day, 16.4 per cent of the whole board. With 54.7 per cent of the 201 destinations running less than daily, this is a board that rewards booking the outbound before the collection is confirmed rather than after.

The ten destinations out of BNA where one airline holds the sector and files fewer than seven departures a week, with the weekly figure taken as the average daily rate multiplied by seven rather than as a fixed timetable. 75 further destinations sit in the same position and are listed in the board above.

The way back from BNA

The desk holds the return direction for 54 of the 201 destinations, and a courier plans the way back on those figures rather than on the outbound. On none of those 54 does the return run more than a quarter thinner than the outbound, so a turnaround through BNA is a question of hours rather than of whether an aircraft exists.

It runs the other way as well: New York (JFK) files 8.1 a day back into BNA against 2.3 outbound, which is the shape that strands a courier at this end rather than at the far end.

The clock at BNA

BNA keeps America/Chicago time, nine hours behind Dubai in summer and ten hours behind in winter, because the clock here moves and the Gulf clock does not.

When it is 09:00 on a Dubai working morning it is 00:00 at BNA, and a nine to six day at each end does not overlap at all, so an instruction written in Dubai is read here on the following working day unless somebody is woken up.

The night at BNA

1 of the destinations from here carry a documented night restriction of their own, which is a departure time question at this end rather than an arrival problem at the other.

Into London (LHR) the door shuts at 23:30 local, so the last departure from BNA that lands inside it leaves around 08:55, on a modelled block of 8h 35m. Those one departure times out of BNA are worked backwards from the published window with the block time model this site uses everywhere, 720 to 880 km an hour by sector length with thirty minutes on the ground, so they are arithmetic rather than a timetable and the desk checks the published departure before it promises the landing.

Where BNA turns up on the rest of this site

The airport also sits behind the United States country desk, which sets out the customs practice, the working week and the road legs behind this airport.

The site publishes 29 airport pair pages that start or end at BNA, each with the distance, the block time, the carriers on the sector and a door to door clock. The busiest are Nashville to New York (LGA), Nashville to Washington (DCA) and Nashville to Denver (DEN).

Nine courier postings name BNA as the airport a courier here flies from: Nashville, Huntsville and Clarksville.

To price a movement rather than read the board, the route calculator opens with BNA already set as the origin, and it works out the flying time, the distance and the delivery hour for any of the 201 destinations above.
