Waymo has added a fifth U.S. airport, rolling out fully autonomous ride-hailing service at Nashville International Airport (BNA).

Initially, Waymo will be available for pickups and drop-offs at the fast-growing airport for select local riders, with access being granted to more Waymo riders over time.

Pickups and drop-offs will be available at Waymo's dedicated space in the Ground Transportation Center at the D1 curb. 

Waymo has served Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport for the past four years and has since launched service at San José Mineta International Airport, San Francisco International Airport and San Antonio International Airport.

BNA, which could be getting a name change, is currently the nation's fastest-growing travel hub, with airlines adding routes and officials moving forward with ambitious expansion plans. 

"BNA takes great pride in introducing innovative ways to enhance the passenger journey, and welcoming Waymo provides travelers with another convenient transportation option to and from the airport," Doug Kreulen, President and CEO of the Metropolitan Nashville Airport Authority, said in a statement.

"As Nashville continues to grow, we want to embrace new technologies that give our passengers greater choice, flexibility and ease when traveling through BNA," he added.

"Serving rides to and from Nashville International Airport provides a convenient and reliable new way to catch your next flight," said Arica Gately, Head of Airport Business Development and Partnerships, Waymo. "With our growing number of airports and cities served, Waymo can now offer a door-to-door experience for your next air travel."
