New Mexico Business Weekly - Albuquerqueans love their airport, but one complaint I hear a lot is the lack of direct flights, at least for points East.

Barger was in town recently and met with Mayor Richard J. Berry. Ann Rhoades, president of People Ink in Albuquerque and a founding executive of JetBlue who serves on the company’s board, set up the meeting, Barger said. “We had a good meeting,” he said. “The mayor will be in New York within the next 30 days, and he’ll stop by our new offices here.” Barger said he thinks it’s quite likely JetBlue could expand service to the Sunport, although he cautioned that the company struggles with longer-haul routes because of the cost of oil, and Albuquerque is a tad farther from New York than, say, Florida. “I think a lot of people are unaware of New Mexico,” Barger said.
