Daily service to support free shipping to Amazon customers across the region
NASHVILLE – The first Amazon Air cargo aircraft arrived at Nashville International Airport® (BNA) on Thursday evening, beginning daily flights to the airport and adding to the company’s presence in the region.
“This operation reinforces Amazon’s investment in the region and BNA’s vital role in the economic development of the area,” said Doug Kreulen, BNA president and CEO. “We value their commitment and look forward to a strong partnership.”
Through a partner lease agreement, Amazon Air will use over 39,000 square feet of space at BNA. Amazon Air's Nashville gateway will include an onsite area to sort packages bound for their next destination and will be managed by an Amazon logistics partner, LGSTX Cargo Services. The site is expected to support more than 70 jobs.
Amazon Air plays a central role in delivering Amazon products for customers by transporting items across longer distances in shorter timeframes. Amazon Air owns and leases an aircraft fleet and works with third-party carriers to provide dedicated air cargo services for Amazon packages. Since 2010, Amazon has invested nearly $13 billion in Tennessee and $530 billion in the U.S – creating more than 25,000 jobs in Tennessee in its operations, logistics, corporate and technology functions.

PAVIX: Proven Winner for All Airport Concrete Infrastructure
International Chem-Crete Corporation (ICC) manufactures and sells PAVIX, a unique line of crystalline waterproofing products that penetrate into the surface of cured concrete to fill and seal pores and capillary voids, creating a long lasting protective zone within the concrete substrate.
Once concrete is treated, water is prevented from penetrating through this protective zone and causing associated damage, such as freeze-thaw cracking, reinforcing steel corrosion, chloride ion penetration, and ASR related cracking.
This white paper discusses how the PAVIX CCC100 technology works and its applications.
