Nashville Gets Exciting Air Canada Expansion for 2025

Hey there, Nashville! Big news is brewing over at Nashville International Airport® (BNA®)! Starting in the sunny summer of 2025, Air Canada is stepping up its game, bringing more flights and connections to and from our beloved Music City! This is not just any expansion; it’s set to make Air Canada the leading Canadian airline with the most daily flights available at BNA!

A Canadian Connection Like Never Before

Air Canada is all set to launch a new, three-times weekly route from the vibrant city of Vancouver. But that’s not where the excitement ends! They will also boost their existing flights from Montreal, going from four-times weekly to a fantastic twice-daily service. And for those looking to travel to Toronto, look forward to added capacity on their already popular twice-daily flights.

This means that folks living in Nashville and surrounding areas will have non-stop access to Canada’s three largest cities! Yes, we’re talking about Toronto, Montreal, and Vancouver! Whether you’re itching to explore the breathtaking outdoors, dive into vibrant arts and culture, or indulge in some of the tastiest food Canada has to offer, Air Canada’s got you covered.

A World of Possibilities Awaits

But wait, there’s more! Thanks to Air Canada’s extensive global network, travelers can easily connect to over 145 destinations across six continents. Got a hankering for adventure in Asia? You can fly out to Japan or Korea through Vancouver! Plus, with U.S. customs pre-clearance in Canada, returning home to Nashville means you get to breeze through like you’re coming back from a domestic trip—not a bad deal, right?

Excitement at BNA

Excitement is in the air, and it’s not just from the flights! Doug Kreulen, the President and CEO of Nashville International Airport, shared just how thrilled everyone is about this new development. “We’re proud that Air Canada is expanding its offerings at BNA, which will further strengthen Nashville’s connections to major Canadian cities and the global destinations beyond,” he said. He emphasized how this growth directly reflects the increasing demand for direct travel between Nashville and Canada, whether for business or leisure.

A Strong Economic Impact

Nashville International Airport isn’t just a hub for travelers; it’s also a crucial economic asset for the region. It’s estimated that in 2019 alone, BNA contributed over $9.9 billion to the economy, supporting more than 76,000 jobs and generating over $443 million in taxes. What’s impressive is that BNA operates without relying on local tax dollars!

John C. Tune Airport: A Vital Reliever

And don’t forget about all the action happening at John C. Tune Airport® (JWN®)! Located just eight miles from downtown, it serves as Tennessee’s busiest general aviation airport. Not only does JWN serve regional, corporate, and private aircraft, but it also delivers an economic impact of about $92 million and operates without local tax money.
