Las Cruces Flight Cuts and Future Plans

Las Cruces’ pricey airport shuttle to Albuquerque is shutting down June 30th—thanks to a budget crunch that’s drained state and local funds. The route, launched last January, cost nearly $5.6 million and drew just six passengers per flight, forcing the city to cut back to two weekly trips. Council says it’s time to prioritize essential services, but they’re already eyeing new grants and a future revival—possibly linking Las Cruces to Phoenix with more efficient, cost-saving planes.
