Rio Grande Air in NM?

[Cmdr Taggart]

I was flying out of ABQ today and saw a Cessna Caravan with Rio Grande Air painted on the side, it appeared to be coming from the main terminal in ABQ, does any know anything about this airline, is it 121 and is it based in ABQ? Just curious.


Thanks

They feed to Great Plains airlines out of a few small cities in the SW.

They were headquartered in Taos, NM, FAR 135, operate 2 Caravans as of a year ago.

I think they've added some Caravans, and they used to have a 207 sitting on the ramp at Taos.

From what I know (have met the owner)--they are cool. From ABQ they go to Durango, Los Alamos, Taos, and I'm not sure where else. They've got some sort of agreement with Great Plains too.

But I think they added a few pilots in December or so--they were doing an awful lot of training, but they also seemed to have purchased more airplanes about then too.

I did a search, and found their website.
