## Description

At the core of the Permian Basin oilfields, in the far south-eastern corner of New Mexico on the Texas line, the Lea County Regional Airport at Hobbs serves passenger and business aviation. It also enjoys a worldwide reputation as a soaring centre, where glider pilots ride the thermals of the high plains. The field has no dedicated cargo flights; oilfield freight moves by pipeline and truck on US 62/180. Scheduled links (such as to Dallas) serve the energy industry, while regional air cargo is handled at the Albuquerque International Sunport with its FedEx, UPS and Foreign-Trade Zone 110.
