Contour Airlines will bring commercial air service to a new airport in New Mexico next month.
Starting June 25, the independent regional carrier will connect Sierra Blanca Regional Airport near Ruidoso, New Mexico, with Denver. Flights will operate four times per week, on Mondays, Thursdays, Fridays, and Sundays.
Sierra Blanca has never had regular passenger service, Ruidoso officials said.
“Launching the first commercial air service in Ruidoso is an incredibly exciting milestone for Contour Airlines,” Contour President Ben Munson said in a news release. “This new nonstop route to Denver not only transforms how the community connects to the rest of the country, but also opens the door for more visitors to experience everything Ruidoso has to offer.”
Contour will use a 30-seat regional jet for the connection.
Ruidoso is a mountain resort community located in Lincoln County.
