Description: Albuquerque, NEW MEXICO - Municipal Airport - 1940: In 1935 it was suggested that the city build a new public airport using WPA money. Having secured US$520,500 in funding, Governor Clyde Tingley broke ground for the project on February 28, 1937. Albuquerque Municipal Airport opened in 1939 with two paved runways, a Pueblo Style terminal building designed by Ernest Blumenthal, and a massive hangar designed to accommodate the new Boeing 307 operated by TWA which became Trans World Airlines in 1946. Monarch and Arizona Airways both came to Albuquerque in the late 1940s then merged to become Frontier Airlines in 1950. The airport was renamed Albuquerque Sunport on April 17, 1963. This Linen Era postcard, mailed in 1940, is in good condition, but there is some soiling. Genuine Curteich, CT Art Colortone. Distributed by J. R. Willis. Albuquerque, NM.
