Albuquerque International Sunport Airport (ABQ)

Albuquerque International Sunport (ABQ) is a multi-use airport located southeast of the city of Albuquerque, New Mexico. Kirtland Air Force Base occupies the restricted military-controlled ramp on the north side of the airport. The traffic mix consists of many aviation community players ranging from pre-solo students all the way to high-time air carrier and military pilots. This combination of pilot experience and aircraft capability makes ABQ a challenging and interesting airport. The field elevation at ABQ is 5355’ MSL and, with the high surrounding terrain, warrants close attention to density altitude.  View a printable Pilot Handbook of the ABQ information found on this Web page.
