ANYONE FLYING OUT OF THE ALBUQUERQUE SUNPORT SHOULD CHECK WITH THEIR AIRLINE TO MAKE SURE THEIR FLIGHT IS ON TIME. THE SUNPORT IS NOT AMONG AIRPORTS HIT BY SEQUESTER BUDGET CUTS … BUT DAN JIRON WITH THE SUNPORT SAYS THOSE AIRPORTS AFFECTED ARE DEALING WITH STAFF REDUCTIONS … AND MAJOR FLIGHT DELAYS. HE SAYS THEY COULD AFFECT SOME FLIGHTS HERE.
WHEN 770 KKOB CONTACTED THE FAA OFFICE IN DALLAS FOR FURTHER INFORMATION, WE WERE TOLD IT'S NOT DOING INTERVIEWS ON THIS MATTER. BUT A SPOKESMAN SAID IN AN EMAIL THAT THEY'RE DEALING WITH STAFFING CHALLENGES AT THE NEW YORK, LOS ANGELES, DALLAS FORT WORTH AND LAS VEGAS AIRPORTS.
A CHECK OF SUNPORT ARRIVALS AND DEPARTURES ON THE CITY WEB SITE TUESDAY SHOWED A NUMBER OF DELAYS AND LATE FLIGHT ARRIVALS.
