NEW MEXICO AIRPORTS 2019 ANNUAL REVIEW SELECTED PROJECTS Introduction NEW MEXICO AIRPORTS 2019 ANNUAL REVIEW SELECTED PROJECTS introduction The New Mexico Airport Managers Association (NMAMA),a subsection of the New Mexico Municipal League, is organized to aid in the improvement of aviation and airport services to municipalities, to provide educational opportunities to airport managers and other related personnel in the State of New Mexico, and to assist the New Mexico Municipal League to promote and foster good working relationships with other elected and appointed officials of municipalities within the state. A part of what makes New Mexico the “Land of Enchantment” is its setting of richly diverse and small communities, many of which are miles from large metropolitan areas. With Albuquerque being the only metropolitan area supporting a population of over 500,000, small communities must be more self-sustaining economic centers than they would need to be in more populated states. These communities were first linked by trails and then by rail, with roads and highways also developing. However, in the past 75 years, New Mexico's air transportation has grown to be an important regional, national, and international economic link for the state. The aviation component of New Mexico’s transportation infrastructure provides its citizens and businesses access to critical services, such as air ambulance services, firefighting, agricultural spraying, law enforcement, military training, business travel, air cargo services, pilot training, and tourism. New Mexico Airport System Highlights include: • 61 aviation facilities located in 30 of 33 counties • 3,108 registered pilots (FAA data 12/05/2019) • 1,275 registered aircraft (State data 12/05/2019) • 6 airports with scheduled passenger service • 2.86 million enplanements for calendar year 2018 - 313.08% increase from CY 171 • 6 airports with air traffic control towers 1 Source - Federal Aviation Administration, Air Carrier Activity Information System (ACAIS), Enplanements at All Airports i NEW MEXICO AIRPORTS 2019 ANNUAL REVIEW NEW MEXICO AIRPORT MANAGERS ASSOCIATION The New Mexico Department of Transportation (NMDOT) - Aviation Division and NMAMA work together to ensure that our 61 aviation facilities are maintained to the highest aviation standards and are continually improved and upgraded to meet burgeoning user needs and facility requirements. Developing and maintaining New Mexico’s tremendous aviation infrastructure is only possible with the continued support of the New Mexico Governor’s Office, the New Mexico Lt. Governor’s Office, and the New Mexico Legislature. Together, we have developed and continue to grow and improve what is arguably the finest state aviation system in the country. This book provides only a glimpse into many of the capital improvement projects currently in progress, planned, or recently completed at our airports in 2019. We would like to thank Delta Airport Consultants, Inc. for their time and assistance in compiling this book. Finally, we thank you for your part in supporting New Mexico aviation, and we hope this book provides you additional insight to these vital and irreplaceable assets.

VCG, LLC (Contractor) The new Taxiway F6 decreases the taxiway distance for air carrier and air cargo aircraft by 7,600 feet. The new configuration allows the runway to be cleared much faster improving $2,000,000 (Total Cost) operational efficiency by decreasing the necessary separation distance between landing aircraft. 1 NEW MEXICO AIRPORTS 2019 ANNUAL REVIEW NEW MEXICO AIRPORT MANAGERS ASSOCIATION Andrew Othole Memorial Airport (ZUN) Pueblo of Zuni Airport Master Plan Project Description: The Airport Master Plan will focus on existing and future airport design standards along Armstrong Consultants, Inc.

  • Taos Air Launches in California with Round-Trip Flights to Los Angeles, Carlsbad Air Service to Southern California Begins on January 9, 2020
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACT: Marissa Le For Town of Taos 505-433-3498 Taos Air Launches in California with Round-Trip Flights to Los Angeles, Carlsbad Air service to Southern California begins on January 9, 2020 Nov. 20, 2019 — (Taos, N.M.) In a move that makes experiencing the culture of New Mexico simple and fast for Southern Californians and gives Northern New Mexicans the ability to conveniently fly to the West Coast in under two hours, the Taos Regional Airport will begin direct charter flight service to and from Hawthorne Municipal Airport in Los Angeles and McClellan-Palomar Airport in Carlsbad beginning January 9. The air service, known as Taos Air, will provide the enhanced experience of charter air service at prices comparable to traditional commercial flights. In its inaugural year providing round-trip service to Austin and Dallas, Taos Air proved to be an economic driver for not just the Taos area but the entire Enchanted Circle region. Studies conducted by Southwest Planning & Marketing (SWPM) found that there was an economic impact of over $2 million in Taos, Taos Ski Valley, Angel Fire, Eagle Nest, Questa and Red River by Taos Air fliers for its first season of operation. “Taos is fortunate to welcome many visitors from Southern California and we are very excited to help them make the trip quicker and easier,” said Daniel Barrone, Town of Taos Mayor. “We are so pleased Taos Air continues to grow and provide door-to-door flights for people who want to experience Taos.” This announcement comes on the heels of Taos Air announcing its second year operating direct charter flight service to Austin–Bergstrom International (AUS) and Dallas Love Field (DAL) airports from Taos Regional Airport (TSM).

Pilots were told to lower the nose of their aircraft, maximize power, and not attempt to maintain assigned altitudes. (See August 22, 1996; January 15, 1997.) January 6, 1997: Illinois Governor Jim Edgar and Chicago Mayor Richard Daley announced a compromise under which the city would reopen Meigs Field and operate the airport for five years. After that, Chicago would be free to close the airport. (See September 30, 1996.) January 6, 1997: FAA announced the appointment of William Albee as aircraft noise ombudsman, a new position mandated by the Federal Aviation Reauthorization Act of 1996 (Public Law 104-264). (See September 30, 1996; October 28, 1998.) January 7, 1997: Dredging resumed in the search for clues in the TWA Flight 800 crash. The operation had been suspended in mid-December 1996.

(See May 12, 1997; August 27, 1998.) January 14, 1997: In a conference sponsored by the White House Commission on Aviation Safety and Security and held in Washington, DC, at George Washington University, airline executives called upon the Clinton Administration to privatize key functions of FAA and to install a nonprofit, airline-organized cooperative that would manage security issues.
