ALBUQUERQUE (AP) — Demand for flights in New Mexico’s Albuquerque International Sunport are low compared to normal, but there has been a gradual increase in travelers since April. In August, passenger numbers were down 77% from the same time in 2019. Now, traffic is down 71% from the same time last year, with about 4,800 travelers every day. A JetBlue flight to John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York City returned to the Albuquerque airport recently. The route was canceled in May when traffic at the New Mexico airport was down 90% from the same time last year.
