The Albuquerque International Sunport celebrated the Labor Day grand openings of two new Ascend ABQ retail locations on Monday, September 7, 2026, bringing even more local style, creativity and New Mexico pride to the terminal.

King of Bling – Great Hall
Local entrepreneur Eddie Valentin opened his second Ascend ABQ retail shop, King of Bling, featuring a newly created collection of local sports team apparel and accessories. Known for his signature sparkling designs, Eddie brings his distinctive style and love of local sports to the Sunport.

19 Twelve Hat Co. – B Concourse
Local entrepreneur Fred Franco also opened his second Ascend ABQ retail shop, 19 Twelve Hat Co., featuring a wide selection of hats and apparel designed to showcase New Mexico style and creativity.

These two openings continue the Sunport’s commitment to supporting local entrepreneurs and creating an authentic New Mexico experience for travelers.

Burque Brews has officially reopened! Following a brief closure related to construction of our new observation deck, Burque Brews is open again!

Over the next year, you’ll notice a smaller interior footprint as construction continues nearby. But trust us, the best is yet to come.

In August 2027, Burque Brews will expand significantly, creating more room to relax, recharge, and enjoy one of the best view around: the beautiful Sandia Mountain Range.

Accessibility Update: The Sunport now offers two adult changing restrooms designed to better serve passengers with mobility and personal care needs. The private facilities are located near the TSA checkpoint (pre-security) and in Concourse A.

We apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your patience as repairs are completed.
