Description	Albuquerque in the 1930s had two competing private airports, Oxnard Field on the east of town and the West Mesa Airport. A proposal was made to secure Works Progress Administration (WPA) funds to consolidate Albuquerque's commercial air service in one location. Governor Clyde Tingley broke ground in 1937 for the new airport. Albuquerque Municipal Airport opened in 1939 with two runways and a Pueblo style terminal designed by Ernest Blumenthal. Trans World Airlines (TWA), Pioneer Airlines, and Frontier Airlines served the airport through the forties and fifties
