About
Arriving at Albuquerque International Sunport
The Albuquerque International Sunport is one of the few airports that feels genuinely local—the Southwest-themed architecture and art reflect New Mexico's culture. Three concourses handle all flights, and the manageable size means passengers reach baggage claim quickly.
The Sunport sits just off I-25 on the city's south side, minutes from downtown and Old Town Albuquerque. The drive is short and traffic is rarely an issue. A landing alert is still useful for timing your arrival—especially during Balloon Fiesta season when airport traffic picks up noticeably.
Pickup tip
ABQ is 3 miles southeast of downtown Albuquerque. The Sunport is compact and easy to navigate. Wait for a landing text, then head to the lower-level arrivals curb.
