ALBUQUERQUE GOING INTERNATIONAL!

The airport here is officially called the Albuquerque International Sunport,  which is misleading since there aren't any flights going to or arriving from across the border.

That's set to change soon.  The U.S. Department Of The Treasury is set to open a Customs office which will open the door for international air connections in Albuquerque.  Negotiations are currently underway with three American carriers and one Mexican airline to provide flights to several destinations south of the Rio Grande.  Service could begin as early as a year-and-a-half from now.

This is certainly good news.  Right now,  to fly to Mexico City,  the easiest way is to fly to either Houston or Phoenix first to make a connection south.  Plus,  direct flights from Mexico will help our state's tourism industry a great deal.
