## Description

One daily Cessna rotation to Albuquerque, flown by South Aero for UPS, is the entire scheduled freight operation at Alamogordo–White Sands Regional (ALM/KALM). Scheduled passenger service ended on 31 March 2012 when the Essential Air Service subsidy was withdrawn, and has not returned since. The city-owned field in Otero County, New Mexico has no cargo terminal, no customs facility and no freighter handling; the current UPS feeder replaced an Ameriflight Beechcraft C99 service that ran from 2014 to 2020. Holloman Air Force Base and White Sands Missile Range dominate the local economy, but their inbound freight arrives overwhelmingly by road. International air cargo for southern New Mexico clears at El Paso International (ELP, roughly 145 km south) or Albuquerque (ABQ, roughly 355 km north). Forwarders should quote to those gateways and add a trucking leg rather than routing consignments to ALM directly.
