About Gallup Municipal Airport
Gallup Municipal Airport is a publicly owned airport serving Gallup, New Mexico, and the surrounding Navajo Nation and western New Mexico region. It functions primarily as a general aviation facility while also hosting limited scheduled passenger service for the local community.
The airport has roots dating back to the 1920s, when it served as a landing field for mail planes. Today it operates a single asphalt runway, 6/24, measuring roughly 7,300 feet, along with a compact passenger terminal. Scheduled service returned in 2022 when Advanced Air began flying between Gallup and Phoenix.
Located about 3 miles southwest of downtown Gallup, the airport is a short drive from the city centre by taxi, rental car, or private transfer, typically taking around 5 to 10 minutes. It offers a convenient local alternative to longer drives to Albuquerque or Phoenix.
With a simple terminal, on-site car rental, fuel services, and easy parking, Gallup Municipal Airport provides a straightforward travel experience for visitors exploring Gallup, Window Rock, and the surrounding red rock country of the Southwest.
