Dolly Parton fans are rallying to rename Nashville International Airport after the country music icon, creating a petition that has gained over 51,000 signatures since its January 21 launch. Organizers Lydia Popovich and Dan Dion celebrated Parton’s artistic contributions and philanthropy, such as her Imagination Library initiative. This movement follows an unsuccessful effort to name the airport after former President Trump. The current airport name honors Col. Harry Smith Berry, a WWI and WWII veteran. State legislator Rep. Todd Warner, who initially submitted the Trump bill, could play a key role in this renaming effort.
Fans of Dolly Parton are pushing to have Nashville International Airport renamed in her honor after a bill to name it after President Trump failed to pass.
The petition, titled 'Rename Nashville International Airport to Dolly Parton International Airport,' was posted on Change.org on January 21 and has already collected over 51,000 signatures.
Nashville International Airport has the airport code BNA, named after decorated veteran Col. Harry Smith Berry, who served during World Wars I and II.
Organizers expressed their admiration for Dolly Parton, citing her philanthropy, including the Imagination Library program that has gifted over 100 million books to children.
