Nashville Airport Authority Votes to Start Renaming Airport After Dolly Parton
The Metropolitan Nashville Airport Authority unanimously voted 6-0 to begin the formal process of renaming Nashville International Airport in honor of Dolly Parton. While the final name is undecided, "Dolly Parton International Airport" is a leading option. The proposal, supported by a large public petition and political backing, had been discussed before Parton's death in August 2025. Officials plan to share more details as the renaming process advances.
