Santa Fe Regional Airport[2] (IATA: SAF, ICAO: KSAF, FAA LID: SAF) is a public use airport in Santa Fe, Santa Fe County, New Mexico, United States, 10 miles (16 km) southwest of the city center.[1] The airport serves the greater Santa Fe and Los Alamos areas.
Santa Fe's is the second busiest commercial airport in New Mexico behind the Albuquerque International Sunport. It is one of the highest in elevation in the United States at 6348 feet above sea level. The airport is currently served by American Eagle with regional jet flights to Dallas/Fort Worth and to Phoenix as well as by United Express with regional jets to Denver and Houston. The airport also sees a considerable amount of private jet activity by NetJets and many other companies. There are two fixed base operators: Jet Center at Santa Fe which has a facility just northeast of the terminal and Signature Flight Support SAF in the old terminal building just south of the current terminal.
Since the introduction of regional jet service by major airlines in 2009, the airport has seen a tremendous increase in airline activity with 43,329 passenger boardings (enplanements) in calendar year 2011 to 142,057 in 2019.[3] The National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2011–2015 called it a general aviation airport based on enplanements in 2008, when Santa Fe had no airline service while airport officials awaited federal approval of an environmental impact assessment (the commercial service category requires at least 2,500 per year).[4] However, as of the 2019-2023 NPIAS, it is listed as a commercial service - primary nonhub airport.[5]
