Tennessee governor backs renaming Nashville airport after Dolly Parton

Gov. Bill Lee and the Metropolitan Nashville Airport Authority backed renaming Nashville International Airport in Dolly Parton’s honor, a move gaining momentum after Parton’s death and a 2025 petition that has attracted more than 155,000 signatures. If approved, Parton would become the first woman to have a U.S. airport named for her, but the plan would require revisiting the airport’s policy requiring honorees to be deceased for at least two years, with discussion expected at a September board meeting.

Following Dolly Parton’s death, local and state lawmakers are backing a proposal to rename Nashville International Airport to Dolly Parton International Airport. A Change.org petition has gained over 127,000 signatures. Final approval would come from the Metropolitan Nashville Airport Authority board, with FAA consent required. A 2010 policy also requires a two-year waiting period after death and a demonstrated significant contribution to Tennessee aviation. State legislators are planning related bills to advance the effort.

Passenger Boards American Airlines Flight Without Ticket or ID, Bypassing Security Checkpoint

A woman managed to walk through an empty security checkpoint at Nashville International Airport and board an American Airlines flight to Los Angeles without a ticket, raising questions about TSA's security measures. The TSA claims the passenger was screened before boarding, but this incident follows a similar security breach at London Heathrow Airport in December. The need for effective airport security is evident, especially with recent instances of loaded guns being found in carry-on luggage, prompting concerns about the effectiveness of current security technology.
