China Airlines has notified Nashville International Airport (BNA) that it will suspend cargo operations at the airport effective July 31.

Metro collects $162K in U.S. Airways bankruptcy
Posted on January 23, 2009 at 3:04 pmFrom NashvillePost.com legal newshound Tom Wood: Mayor Karl Dean yesterday signed off on a Council resolution authorizing the city to settle a bankruptcy claim with U.S. Airways for $162,224. The Council passed the resolution in its Tuesday meeting.
Metro Legal recommended settling utility tax claims brought against the airline in 2002 and 2004. The reason given in a Council analysis:
If Metro litigated the case further, we would be required to retain counsel in Virginia at our expense. If we prevailed, payment of Metro’s claims could be paid over a six year period from the assessment date. Given the uncertainty about whether the court would allow the 2004 claims and would modify the penalties and interest for the 2002 claims, the department of law believes it is in Metro’s best interest to accept the lump sum settlement.
