Albuquerque International Sunport (IATA: ABQ, ICAO: KABQ, FAA LID: ABQ) is a public international airport 3 miles southeast of downtown Albuquerque, in Bernalillo County, New Mexico. It is the largest civil airport in New Mexico, handling 5,467,693 passengers in 2018.
Albuquerque International Sunport has one terminal with 25 gates in four concourses, including a concourse for commuter airline gates. Concourse A has 13 gates: A1 - A12, A14. Concourse B has 9 gates: B1, B3-B10 (Gate B2 was removed during the security hall expansion in 2005). Concourse E has 2 gates: E1 & E2. Concourse C, originally known as the west wing, consisted of four gates (11, 12, 14, & 15). Gate 11 was closed when the terminal was expanded in 1989 and the remaining three gates were renumbered to C1, C2, & C3. TWA continued to use these gates for a few more years until gates C2 and C3 showed signs of structural failure and later had to be demolished. TWA moved to concourse B and the lobby area of gate C1 (the gate built in 1971) has mostly been converted to office space. The lower level of gate C1 houses U. S. Customs and is still used for occasional international arriving flights. Concourse D was a ground-level commuter aircraft concourse that was used by Great Plains Airlines. It was closed in 2004 after Great Plains Airlines liquidated due to insolvency.
That ceiling😍😍 Love the beautiful wood beams with the Native American symbols.
I really don't know Spanish so I guess speaking would be a nightmare
Also are there buses from the airport to Socorro?
@@livingdivinity6275 New Mexico is just like any other state in the US where everyone speaks English. There are a lot of people of Hispanic heritage, but most of them can't speak Spanish either. You can take a bus from the airport to the train station that will get you as far as Belen. From there, you can get a bus to Socorro. I am guessing public transportation once you get there would be a problem, but there's always Uber.
The sunport does have a pretty impressive model airplane display.
I lived in Albuquerque for a few years. A unique city. Great authentic Mexican food. Albuquerque has a nice zoo too. Good memories.
wow I haven't been to the zoo in years, definitely want to go again once this pandemic is over
@@nou-jn6uz I just went there today!
ABQ is one airport where - just by the architecture - you know what city you’re in.
It’s not your typical generic airport.
What you trynna say there 😠
Very nice video!
The original terminal building (1930s) has been restored is still open next door and used for offices and events.
Check it out sometime - it’s beautiful (Pueblo Revival) and a step into commercial aviation’s past.
Nice airport bin there in the 90s once is good enough for me had my first plane ride to Albuquerque scared the living crap out of me
The last time I flew out of Albuquerque it was on a TWA jet so it has been a lot of years.
Nice video, unique interior architecture, and without the crowds of O'Hare,. I am flying to Albuquerque this Fall for a week's stay to check out the area and sites. I May move there in the Spring, don't know yet but hoping this upcoming trip will solidify my dream...
Moved here a year ago and love it. Not without its quirks, but it is a great town with GREAT food and outdoor fun. Enjoy!
even that 600k people live in abq they still have a good airport
Just hearing the sounds of luggage and plane stuff brings me back (sometimes even tear up)
And also the sound of ABQ again :)
I lived in Albuquerque for a few years. It is a very unique city. I would not want to live there again though. Great memories.
Albuquerque isn't the best, but its certainly not the worst.
For arriving vistors in Albuquerque NM here's some advice. Please wear a bullet proof vest and have plenty of cash on hand for the homeless on Central Ave. Also be cautious with postitutes that roam around the fair grounds during night time hours. If you need a break you can enjoy an overpriced green chile cheese burger, while watching the International Balloon Fiesta Fiasco stuck in traffic on I 25 and Alameda at 4 AM. Later that day you can smoke a joint while waiting for your vehicle to be burglarize at one of our shopping malls. Please note weed can be purchased at one of our local head shops, ditribution centers, a friendly crack or meth head in S.E Albuquerque. Brought to by Mayor Timmy Heller Keller, and Governess MLG Shelly Looney Lujan. Thank You and enjoy your stay !!!
That’s my airport
