China Air out at BNA

By Geert De Lombaerde Posted on July 30, 2009 at 8:28 am

From the Metropolitan Nashville Airport Authority:

China Airlines has notified Nashville International Airport (BNA) that it will suspend cargo operations at the airport effective July 31. This suspension, which may be reversed as the economy rebounds, is a result of decreased levels of outbound cargo due to the challenging economic environment. China Airlines has operated at BNA since 2001.

Nashville on Hummer HQ short list

The auto maker – which is in the process of being acquired by a Chinese conglomerate – says it will likely pick either Detroit or Nashville for its headquarters, places where its CEO says “other automotive manufacturers have chosen to collect.”

Hmm, ya think China Airlines flying cargo into BNA on a very regular basis might help us here?
