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, USA. This general aviation airport covers 340 acres (138 ha) and has two runways.
In the early 40's the Dare County has been served by a small private airport. A public airport was under construction when the Attack on Pearl Harbor prompted the Navy to abandon plans to construct the Naval Auxiliary Air Station At Cape Hatteras and instead focus on this airport on Roanoke Island which had a similar runway configuration. The Navy Auxiliary Air Station Manteo was completed by the Navy and commissioned on March 3, 1943. NAAS Manteo was shared by the Civil Air Patrol and the Navy and was used for special training of squadrons of F4F Wildcats, F6F Hellcats, SB2C Helldivers, TBM and TBF Avengers. PBY Catalinas and F4U Corsairs. The Navy and Coastgaurd conducted anti submarine patrols from the airfield until the field was placed in caretaker status on December 15, 1945. In 1947 the airfield was returned to the control of Dare County and in 1983 was taken over by the Dare County airport authority.
The airport offers a small museum chronicling the history of aviation on the outer banks. 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 and MEO by the IATA (which assigned MQI to Quincy, Massachusetts). The airport's ICAO identifier is KMQI.
