Three new flights arriving at Nashville International Airport

Three new Southwest Airlines flights are coming to Nashville International Airport this summer.

Direct routes between Music City and Cincinnati, Ohio, Greenville-Spartanburg, South Carolina and Richmond, Virginia will start on June 4, according to airport officials.

The news follows other recent new BNA routes to southern Connecticut's Tweed-New Haven Airport, as well as added service to Buffalo, New York and Texas markets Dallas and Austin, as well as various Canadian destinations.

Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport CEO Candace McGraw praised Southwest's investment in new routes to the airport, which includes Orlando.

"New nonstop service between Cincinnati and Nashville is very exciting, and we’re pleased Southwest will be launching this flight at the beginning of June," McGraw said. "Increased frequency to Orlando is also exciting as it is one of the most popular destinations from CVG and adds more options for the region to connect to international destinations to the south."
