These days Frontier has passed into history and the ABQ-TUS market is now served by two airlines, each offering two daily nonstop flights. Identify those airlines and the aircraft each operates on its flights.
US Air 737-300 has been identified. The other airline operated a 727-200 on this route... It was not EA or CO or TW

I sure can't imagine United with ABQ-TUS as a tag from DEN or on the way to SFO, and iirc AA's westbound services from DFW were pretty much all flown with MD-80s ... Was it maybe one of Braniff's last-gasp route additions out of MCI?

Yep - strange though it sounds, Braniff was the other airline with a single daily nonstop 727-200
