ABQ Airport - Live Flight Status at Albuquerque International Sunport
Albuquerque International Sunport is the airport behind the code ABQ, with KABQ as its ICAO identifier, and it serves the city of Albuquerque in the United States. Located at 35.04 north and 106.6089 west, the Sunport is classified as a large airport in our database, and the traffic level we record there is average. The live radar on this page shows what is moving in the air around ABQ airport right now, and the arrivals and departures pages linked above it list each flight with its times and status, while the text below explains how busy the Sunport runs in our own data and which carriers dominate the aircraft we observe there.
What our 30-day measurement shows
The figures on this page come from our own reception measurement, which logged aircraft near Albuquerque International Sunport for 30 days. Across that period, our receivers picked up an average of 14.7 aircraft observations per day near ABQ, a per-day figure that lines up with the average traffic level we assign the Sunport. Every number in this section comes from that single 30-day measurement, so it reflects what our equipment received rather than an official tally.
The busiest window in the same measurement fell between 01:00 and 03:00 on the measurement clock, which runs in UTC. That detail matters if you want to match our numbers to the times on the arrivals and departures pages: convert the UTC window to Albuquerque's local time first, because the measurement clock and the clock at the Sunport do not read the same.

Three airlines stood out among the aircraft our receivers logged near Albuquerque during those 30 days. Southwest Airlines was the most visible carrier in that data, with 170 observations near ABQ; if you are flying Southwest into or out of Albuquerque, the Southwest Airlines flight status page is the next stop.
