Cargo airlines serving the airport are FedEx Express, UPS Airlines, Empire Airlines (a FedEx Feeder carrier), Ameriflight, and South Aero. The airport is designated as Class C airspace.  The airport continues to share its runways with Kirtland AFB, which also handles rescue and firefighting operations. An Air Force Global Strike Command (AFGSC) installation, the host unit is the 377th Air Base Wing (377 ABW). Flying units at Kirtland AFB consist of the 58th Special Operations Wing (58 SOW) of the Air Education and Training Command (AETC) and the 150th Fighter Wing (150 FW), an Air Combat Command (ACC)-gained unit of the New Mexico Air National Guard.  Product Note:  Due to MSFS ground photogrammetry engine, it’s common to face a few jagged edges on some airports borders/corners. As you may know, if photogrammetry is set to OFF they disappear. So far the SDK does not provide a tool to handle this properly, and this issue will be present when photogrammetry is ON, whether you use a default or add-on airport. It’s not a big deal, it shows over a small area, but it’s there. So it’s a user’s choice to set photogrammetry ON or OFF to enjoy the flight.
