Shops & Restaurants
The “Dream of Flight” initiative marks a transformative moment for the Albuquerque International Sunport. This is the Sunport’s first major terminal renovation in more than 30 years, and it goes beyond construction. The project is a complete reinvention of the passenger experience, built around New Mexico’s culture, creativity, and community.
At the heart of this effort is the new concessions program. It was designed to bring the spirit of Albuquerque into every corner of the terminal. From layout and design to menus and merchandise, the goal is clear: create a true sense of place, support local and minority-owned businesses, and give travelers something authentic and memorable.
