airport master plan

The Albuquerque International Sunport’s Sustainable Airport Master Plan was initiated by the City of Albuquerque. An airport master plan is intended to evaluate the Airport’s capabilities and roles to forecast future aviation demand, and to plan for the timely development of new or improved facilities that may be required to meet that demand. The ultimate goal of the master plan is to provide systematic guidelines for the airport’s overall maintenance, development, and operation. This planning effort is unique, as it will include sustainable planning goals and objectives.
