## Description

The code GUP belongs to Gallup Municipal Airport (KGUP), a city-owned general aviation field three miles south-west of the Route 66 town of Gallup in western New Mexico. As of 2026 Advanced Air provides the only scheduled service, some eight to ten weekly King Air 350 turboprop flights to Phoenix (PHX), with KT Aero as fixed-base operator. The single asphalt runway measures about 2,230 metres at 6,472 feet elevation, and there are no scheduled freighters, no cargo terminal and no customs post. Air cargo for the Navajo Nation and Zuni country is therefore handled at Albuquerque (ABQ), roughly 140 miles east on Interstate 40, with Phoenix as the southern alternative. Gallup's real freight strength lies on the ground: the I-40 corridor and the parallel BNSF main line carry the region's volumes by truck and rail.
