Tennessee Governor Bill Lee has proposed renaming Nashville International Airport after Dolly Parton, three days after the country music icon died at 80. Airport officials and Nashville Mayor Freddie OConnell support the proposal, which would honour Partons musical and charitable legacy. The Metropolitan Nashville Airport Authority will discuss it September 17.

Following Dolly Parton's death at 80, a petition to rename Nashville International Airport in her honor is gaining support.

Change.org petition to rename the Nashville International Airport in honor of country queen Dolly Parton has blown up since the singer's death this week.
