Albuquerque’s three-runway layout offers markedly different available lengths, from 6,000 ft to 13,793 ft, allowing traffic to be planned around more than one runway scale and alignment. Instrument coverage is selective: four of the six runway ends are served. The published mix combines ILS and localiser procedures with a larger group of RNAV (GPS) approaches, plus one VOR option, providing both precision and satellite-based coverage rather than relying on a single procedure type.
Among nearby fields, Santa Fe Regional has the broadest procedure set, followed by Double Eagle II; Belen Regional, Moriarty Municipal and Los Alamos have much thinner coverage. The Albuquerque Sectional adds the wider visual chart context not shown by airport-specific terminal procedures.

42 current FAA charts for Albuquerque Intl Sunport, including 13 instrument approachs, 12 departure procedures, 12 arrival procedures, 1 airport diagram. All are free to download as PDFs from this page, from the 6 August 2026 cycle.
Tower 120.3, 123.775; Ground 121.9; ATIS 118.0; UNICOM 122.95; Clearance delivery 119.2. Full civil VHF list, with sector notes, is in the frequencies table on this page — from the FAA NASR subscription.
Albuquerque Intl Sunport has 3 runways. The longest is 08/26 at 13,793 ft by 150 ft, concrete. Full runway dimensions, lighting and approach aids are listed on this page.
Yes — 3 ILS procedures are published. In total KABQ has 13 published instrument approaches, of which 8 are RNAV (GPS).
The official FAA airport diagram for Albuquerque Intl Sunport is free to download at the top of this page. It shows runways, taxiways, ramp layout and hold-short positions, and is reissued every 28 days.
The field elevation is 5,354 ft. At that height the air is thin enough to matter: take-off and landing distances are longer than the same aircraft would need at sea level, and the effect worsens as temperature rises. The approach charts carry the altitudes that apply.
Yes. Albuquerque Intl Sunport has an operating control tower, within Albuquerque Center's airspace. Tower, ground and clearance frequencies are listed on this page.
