The welcome experience has been completely reimagined for those arriving at the Albuquerque International Sunport. As part of its sweeping “Dream of Flight” renovation, the Sunport has introduced a curated lineup of new retail concepts that showcase the culture, creativity and flavors of New Mexico from the moment travelers land.
At the heart of the transformation is a retail program rooted in place. Rather than relying heavily on national chains, the Sunport features local makers, cultural institutions and beloved New Mexico brands to anchor the shopping experience, turning time before or after a flight into an opportunity for discovery.
We have created a list of the most recent retail additions where travelers can shop at the Sunport.

One of the most recognizable local brands, Los Poblanos brings its signature blend of hand-crafted luxury to the terminal. Known for lavender-based body products, small-batch foods and beautifully packaged gifts, this shop gives travelers an immediate sense of Albuquerque’s heritage. It’s an ideal stop for attendees looking for elevated, locally rooted gifts without leaving the airport.
Museum of New Mexico Foundation Shops
