Albuquerque International Sunport

Albuquerque International Sunport (IATA: ABQ, ICAO: KABQ, FAA LID: ABQ), locally known as the Sunport, is the primary international airport serving the U.S. state of New Mexico, particularly the Albuquerque metropolitan area and the larger Albuquerque–Santa Fe–Las Vegas combined statistical area. It handles around 5.4 million passengers annually and over 400 flights daily. ABQ is located in Bernalillo County, between the Rio Grande and the Sandia Mountains, east of Old Town and Barelas, 3 miles (5 km) southeast of downtown, south of the University of New Mexico and directly to the west of Sandia National Laboratories and Kirtland Air Force Base.

ABQ is a focus airport for Southwest Airlines, which accounts for over half of all passengers, and is served by several major airlines, including Advanced Air, Alaska, American, Boutique Air, Delta, Frontier, JetBlue, Spirit, Sun Country (starting June 19, 2024) and United; cargo airlines serving the Sunport are FedEx Express, UPS Airlines, Empire Airlines (FedEx Feeder carrier), Ameriflight, Amazon Prime Air (operated by Silver Airways), and South Aero. ABQ is the center of the Air Route Traffic Control Center (ZAB), which is responsible for the airspace over most of Arizona and New Mexico, as well as parts of Colorado, Oklahoma, and Texas.

ABQ has a wide range of restaurants and shops, including national brands such as Hudson News and Book Sellers and Panda Express. It also features regional gift shops and local eateries such as Black Mesa Coffee, Rio Grande Brew Pub & Grill, and New Mexican cuisine restaurants like Tia Juanita's and Comida Buena.

The Sunport is unique for its low-lying structure and Pueblo Revival architecture, which references Albuquerque's Tiquex and Hispano heritage and New Mexico's Pueblo and Nuevo México roots. In a 2023 J.D. Power study, it ranked fifth among medium-sized airports in the U.S. based on customer satisfaction surveys.
