THE MAIN RUNWAY AT THE ALBUQUERQUE SUNPORT IS SCHEDULED TO GO OUT OF SERVICE STARTING MONDAY, FEBRUARY 26TH. SUNPORT MARKETING COORDINATOR STEPHANIE KITTS SAYS IT MEANS AIR TRAFFIC WILL BE USING ANOTHER RUNWAY AND THAT WILL MEAN SOUTHEAST ALBUQUERQUE WILL FEEL THE IMPACT. SHE SAYS THEY’LL MAINLY FLY OVER THE RIDGECREST AREA AND THE INTERNATIONAL DISTRICT … AND SHE SAYS THE NOISE OF THOSE FLIGHTS WILL MAKE IT NOTICEABLE.
A TOTAL OF 167 CONCRETE SLABS THAT MAKE UP THE MAIN RUNWAY WILL BE REPAIRED OR REPLACED. THE WORK IS EXPECTED TO TAKE ABOUT 60 DAYS TO COMPLETE.
