Farmington is the home of Mesa Airlines, a commuter line that connects to majors in Albuquerque and Denver. However, Mesa recently announced they would be ceasing air service in the area. Great Lakes Airlines still offers flights to Denver and Phoenix, and a new carrier, New Mexico Airlines, is in negotiation to begin service to Albuquerque. Flights may be intermittent during this transition period. Amtrak's Southwest Chief (http://www.amtrak.com/ser...) route follows I-40 through the region, stopping briefly in Gallup. Otherwise, access is mainly by road, with good highways on the south Interstate 40, following the route of historic Route 66 and east US 550.
