Northern Maine Regional Airport at Presque Isle (IATA: PQI, ICAO: KPQI) is a public airport located in the city of Presque Isle, in Aroostook County, Maine, USA. It serves the residents of Presque Isle and a vast area of northern Maine and northwestern New Brunswick with commercial and charter aviation services.
