Dolly Parton Could Rename Nashville Airport | Lexington News

Nashville International Airport might soon be renamed in honor of Dolly Parton, a historic move fueled by a petition with over 155,000 signatures and backed by Governor Bill Lee, who calls her a cultural icon whose music, generosity, and kindness perfectly represent Tennessee. Though the airport authority typically requires two years after someone’s passing, they’re open to discussion—especially with the governor’s support—and a decision is expected at a September 17 meeting. If approved, Dolly would become the first woman to have an airport named after her among the nation’s top 50 busiest hubs.
