Continental Airlines once served the Raton airport with DC-3's in the early 1950s as one of several stops on their route between Denver and Albuquerque and continuing to El Paso. A couple smaller commuter carriers have also served Raton; Trans Central Airlines in 1969/1970 with a similar route to that of Continental, and Territorial Airlines flew to Albuquerque with a stop in Las Vegas, NM in 1990.[4]
