Nashville International Airport

Perfecting connecting

Perfecting connecting is the key, as well as a desirable repertoire which features prime location, accessibility, facilities, equipment and capacity, all working in concert to the tune of making Music City’s Nashville International Airport the premier air cargo connection for the world.

Nashville is located at the confluence of three major interstate highways, as well as three loop connectors. For air service, its capability to serve cities well beyond 600 road miles puts the Nashville Cargo facility in a very unique position to support logistics and distribution operations for domestic and international operations as well as governmental operations.

The airport is served by eight all-cargo air carriers, has the real estate available to accommodate major warehousing operations and distribution facilities, and provides the opportunity for sustained economic growth supported by its dynamic and growing corporate community.

The area supported by Nashville International Airport is served by 140 motor carriers and more than 150 truck terminals. More than 20 international freight forwarders offer domestic and international services including same day and overnight shipping and customs brokerage services. Nashville’s river, road and rail resources compliment Nashville International Airport’s exceptional cargo facilities.
