Welcome to Nashville from Our 2018 Host

On behalf of the Metropolitan Nashville Airport Authority and our board of commissioners, I’d like to welcome you to Nashville and the 2018 Airports Council International – North America Annual Conference and Exhibition. 

Nashville International Airport (BNA) is proud to serve as this year’s host airport, and we’re excited to have the opportunity to showcase our ongoing renovation and expansion plans, what we call “BNA Vision.” This year’s conference is jam-packed with informative sessions, top-flight seminars and innovative exhibits from some of the leading aviation and airport professionals in the business. It’s a gathering of the best of the best. 

By the end of the conference, I hope you’ll have gained new insights, ideas and, most importantly, new airport-industry friends and colleagues from which to draw inspiration and support as we work to serve our communities. 

While you are here, I hope you’ll make some time to experience the sights and sounds of our wonderful city. There’s a reason we’re known as Music City! You can find extraordinary live music virtually any hour of the day or night, and the food scene here competes with anyplace in the country. So catch some tunes and try some Nashville Hot Chicken – it won’t disappoint! 

Welcome to Music City, and enjoy the conference. 

Sincerely, 

Douglas E. Kreulen, A.A.E.
President and CEO
Metropolitan Nashville Airport Authority
