About Los Alamos Airport
Los Alamos Airport (LAM) is a public-use general aviation airport serving Los Alamos and northern New Mexico. Built in the late 1940s by the Atomic Energy Commission to support the Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory, the facility was transferred to Los Alamos County ownership in 2008.
The airport sits about 2 km east of the Los Alamos town centre and mainly supports private and business aviation, medical transport and Los Alamos National Laboratory travel. Its single small terminal and 6,000-foot paved runway accommodate general aviation aircraft, with no scheduled commercial passenger service.
Located in the Jemez Mountains, the airport provides convenient access to the town of Los Alamos, White Rock, Bandelier National Monument, Valles Caldera National Preserve and Pajarito Mountain Ski Area. Santa Fe is the nearest major city and is reached by road to the southeast.
With free parking, limited taxi and ride-share availability, and basic terminal amenities, the airport works best for travellers who arrange ground transport in advance. Private transfers and rental cars offer the most reliable onward connections to Los Alamos, White Rock, Santa Fe and surrounding outdoor destinations.
