A fan-led petition is calling for Nashville International Airport to be renamed Dolly Parton International Airport, with support from a Nashville councillor and a Tennessee state representative. Supporters argue that the change would recognise Parton’s cultural influence, charitable work and role in promoting Nashville internationally.

The petition, launched by Lydia Popovich and Dan Dion, had received more than 128,000 signatures according to the article. Nashville City Council member Russ Bradford endorsed the proposal, while state Representative Todd Warner said he would introduce legislation to pursue it; any renaming would therefore require official approval.
