ABQ Albuquerque

How deep the ABQ board really is

The table above says where a courier can fly from ABQ. This reads the same 62 destinations back for the questions a dispatcher asks second: how much of the board rests on one airline, how much of it runs less than daily, whether the return leg is as thick as the outbound and what the clock here does to a Gulf working day, all of it computed on 2026-09-07 from AeroDataBox scheduled route statistics.

• 41of the 62 destinations are flown by one airline
• 29destinations run less than once a day
• 6destinations have four or more departures a day
• 22.6%of the destinations name Southwest Airlines, the largest presence here

Who holds the departures at ABQ

34 airlines appear on the ABQ board and they do not hold it evenly. Southwest Airlines is on 14 of the 62 destinations, 22.6 per cent of them, and on 8 of those it is the only airline flying the sector. The destinations it appears on carry 50 of the 104.7 departures a day this airport files, though other airlines fly some of the same sectors, so read that as reach rather than as a share of the aircraft.

The next largest presence is CSI on 12 destinations. 19 of the 34 airlines at ABQ appear on a single destination each, which is the long tail every airport carries, and none of it is a rebooking option when the sector you need is the one that fell over.

No airline holds more than 22.6 per cent of the destinations here, which is the more comfortable shape of the two. A cancellation at a spread airport is usually a rebooking rather than a lost day, provided the sector itself carries more than one operator, and 41 of the 62 sectors at ABQ do not.

How much of the ABQ board is daily

Of the 62 destinations, 33 are flown at least once a day and 29 are not, 11 of them running once a week or less. The median destination on the ABQ board is flown about once a day.

An average of 0.14 flights a day is the schedule statistic, and it is worth translating it before anything is promised to anybody: ABQ to Pittsburgh (PIT) is about one a week, so a missed departure there is not a delay of hours, it is the next slot.

The five busiest destinations carry 39.4 of the 104.7 departures a day, 37.7 per cent of the whole board. The other 57 destinations are spread widely enough that a courier who misses the first departure at ABQ usually has somewhere else to look on the same board.

The ten destinations out of ABQ where one airline holds the sector and files fewer than seven departures a week, with the weekly figure taken as the average daily rate multiplied by seven rather than as a fixed timetable. 13 further destinations sit in the same position and are listed in the board above.

The way back from ABQ

The desk holds the return direction for 24 of the 62 destinations, and a courier plans the way back on those figures rather than on the outbound. On one of them the return into ABQ runs thinner than the outbound by more than a quarter. The widest gap is Washington (IAD) at 0.29 out a day against 0.14 back.

It runs the other way as well: El Paso (ELP) files 1.4 a day back into ABQ against 0.86 outbound, which is the shape that strands a courier at this end rather than at the far end.

The clock at ABQ

ABQ keeps America/Denver time, ten hours behind Dubai in summer and eleven hours behind in winter, because the clock here moves and the Gulf clock does not.

When it is 09:00 on a Dubai working morning it is 23:00 at ABQ, and a nine to six day at each end does not overlap at all, so an instruction written in Dubai is read here on the following working day unless somebody is woken up.

Where ABQ turns up on the rest of this site

The airport also sits behind the United States country desk, which sets out the customs practice, the working week and the road legs behind this airport.

The site publishes 4 airport pair pages that start or end at ABQ, each with the distance, the block time, the carriers on the sector and a door to door clock. The busiest are Albuquerque to Phoenix (PHX), Albuquerque to Dallas (DAL) and Albuquerque to San Diego (SAN).

Two courier postings name ABQ as the airport a courier here flies from: Albuquerque and Santa Fe.

To price a movement rather than read the board, the route calculator opens with ABQ already set as the origin, and it works out the flying time, the distance and the delivery hour for any of the 62 destinations above.
