## Description

The IATA code CNM marks the Cavern City Air Terminal in Carlsbad, New Mexico, where the region's wealth lies in potash, Permian oil and sulphur rather than air freight. Boutique Air flies the field's only scheduled link, an Essential Air Service route to Dallas/Fort Worth (DFW), and no freighters work the ramp. Carlsbad is best known for the Carlsbad Caverns, one of the largest cave systems in the United States, and for the nearby WIPP nuclear-waste repository. Goods leave by truck on US 285/62, while scheduled air cargo is handled at the Albuquerque International Sunport (ABQ), with its FedEx, UPS and Foreign-Trade Zone 110.
