Dare County Regional Airport (IATA: MEO, ICAO: KMQI, FAA LID: MQI) is a public airport located one mile (2 km) northwest of the central business district (CBD) of Manteo, a town in Dare County, North Carolina, United States. This general aviation airport covers 340 acres (138 ha) and has two runways.
The airport offers a small museum chronicling the history of aviation on the Outer Banks.[2] Exhibits include models of aircraft that played a part in the history of Dare County aviation, photos and displays about local aviator Dave Driskill, and the history of the airport.
The airport is adjacent to the North Carolina Aquarium on Roanoke Island.
Although most U.S. airports use the same three-letter location identifier for the FAA and IATA, Dare County Regional Airport is assigned MQI by the FAA[1] and MEO by the IATA[3] (which assigned MQI to Quincy, Massachusetts).[4] The airport's ICAO identifier is KMQI.[3][5]
