The bus companies are not responsible for delayed or cancelled flights and are not obligated to hold bus departures from the airport. We always recommend that cadets arrive at the airport well before bus departure times for return to Roswell. NMMI is not responsible for airline requirements for traveling minors – all paperwork should be completed in advance.
- Cadets and parents should expect bus departures to Albuquerque Airport at 0600 (6 am) on Saturday, 17 November with return to NMMI from Albuquerque Airport on Sunday, 25 November at 1800 (6 pm) for Thanksgiving, 0600 (6 am) on Friday, 14 December with return to NMMI from Albuquerque Airport on Wednesday, 9 January and on Sunday, 13 January at 1800 (6 pm), and 0600 (6 am) on Friday, 23 March with return to NMMI from Albuquerque Airport on Sunday, 31 March at 1800 (6 pm) for Spring Break.
- NMMI provides a shuttle to Roswell airport with departures from campus on the same days and times for cadets departing from campus to Albuquerque (see previous paragraph for times). NMMI does not provide a shuttle for returning cadets after breaks from Roswell airport due to limited resources and multiple arrivals.All buses depart from Bates Dining Facility and arrive at the airport departure areas. There are no scheduled stops for the bus or shuttle to Roswell or Albuquerque airports.
- Sunshine Cab Company, (575) 910-3400, provides local transportation. The city of Roswell also operates local city buses and cadets in uniform may ride the city buses for free.
