Control location

Subdivision

ZAB's airspace is divided both geographically and altitudinally.

ZAB's primary subdivisions are known as specialties. There are five different specialties known as the North, East, Southeast, Southwest and Northwest. Each specialty is broken down further into 7 or 8 sectors.

By altitude, ZAB comprises 7 ultra-high sectors, 16 high-altitude sectors, 13 low-altitude sectors, and 3 low-high sectors. The vertical strata of these sectors vary greatly depending on the geographic location covered and the variety of traffic the controllers work.
