FAA approves transfer of Angel Fire Airport sponsorship to village

The Federal Aviation Administration approved the transfer of Angel Fire Airport sponsorship to the Village of Angel Fire, with finalization expected in mid‑October after FAA documentation and property transfer are completed.

The village council approved a warranty deed for the transfer, which must also be considered by the Colfax County Commission; the airport operates on an annual budget of about $500,000 and generates roughly $350,000 in direct revenue, and its 8,900‑foot runway at an elevation of 8,382 feet serves private and charter aircraft about 23 miles east of Taos.
