A Close Flight

1 Aug 2016

Gallup New Mexico is located in a logistically excellent location that includes: a central location between 7 major cities (including Los Angeles, Las Vegas, and Albuquerque), an extensive railway system, and a developed highway infrastructure. So, what about airways?

Gallup has a local Municipal Airport. A general aviation airport, its services include Fixed Base Operator Gallup Flying Service, Federal Express, Gallup Med Flight, Budget Car Rental, and the Civil Air Patrol. Of course, some businesses just require a larger airport. Located 135 miles away, Albuquerque International Sunport is the largest airport in New Mexico. Served by six major carriers, Albuquerque International Sunport offers nonstop service to 27 cities. For those looking to move goods, not people, Sunport reportedly moved 62,000 tons of cargo in 2011.

For more in-depth information about the local airports, or how Gallup can help a new or expanding business get a project underway, visit the Greater Gallup Economic Development Corporation website: http://www.gallupedc.com/gallup/doing-business-here/infrastructure
