The Sunport sees regular cargo services from FedEx and UPS. UPS typically utilizes the Airbus A300-600R (F), Boeing 767-300ERF, and Boeing 757-200PF. FedEx | The Sunport sees regular cargo services from FedEx and UPS. UPS typically utilizes the Airbus A300-600R (F), Boeing 767-300ERF, and Boeing 757-200PF. FedEx and UPS send A300s to Albuquerque periodically, though the Boeing 757/767 are more common. FedEX additionally operates Cessna 208B Super Cargomaster aircraft throughout New Mexico, with the flights originating primarily in Albuquerque. These flights are operated by Empire Airlines. As a rare treat, the DC-10 has been known to make an appearance from FedEx (although 10 Tanker Air Carrier can also been seen there frequently). As of January 2022, Amazon's Prime Air has expanded operations out of the Sunport, with service from their ATR 72 freighters, operated by Silver Airways. Amazon's airline has plans to expand more out of Albuquerque in the future, including a new cargo building. | ||
