About Atlantic Aviation
Atlantic Aviation operates on the southwest section of the Albuquerque International Sunport at 2505 Clark Carr Loop SE, alongside Cutter Aviation, which is the other FBO on the field. The facility provides standard FBO services including fueling, hangar space, tie-downs, and amenities for general aviation aircraft. Atlantic can handle aircraft carrying up to 25 passengers and requests one hour of advance notice for services to ensure proper staffing and preparation. The facility offers both short-term and long-term aircraft parking options. The Atlantic team assists with local recommendations for attractions and accommodations, which is helpful for passengers visiting Albuquerque for the first time. The Sunport offers views of the Sandia Mountains to the east and the inactive volcanoes on the western mesa, giving arriving passengers a sense of the New Mexico landscape from the ramp. The airport's long primary runway (13,793 feet) and Sunport elevation (5,350 feet) mean performance margins are generous for business jets. Atlantic Aviation is one of the largest FBO networks in North America, with locations across the United States, bringing standardized processes and corporate backing to the Albuquerque operation. For charter passengers, Atlantic at ABQ provides a reliable option with the resources of a major FBO chain. The airport is approximately five miles from downtown Albuquerque, with easy Interstate 25 access for travel north to Santa Fe or south to Las Cruces. Passengers heading to Santa Fe typically face about an hour's drive, and the Atlantic team can help coordinate ground transport. The one-hour advance notice requirement is worth noting when planning arrivals, particularly for unscheduled diversions or late-notice flights.
