J. Lynn Helms Sevier County Airport (ICAO: KDEQ, FAA LID: DEQ, formerly F90) is a county-owned public-use airport in Sevier County, Arkansas, United States. It is located three nautical miles (4 mi, 6 km) west of the central business district of De Queen, Arkansas.[1] The airport is named for J.

This airport is included in the FAA's National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2011–2015, which categorized it as a general aviation airport.[2]

Although most U.S. airports use the same three-letter location identifier for the FAA and IATA, this airport is assigned DEQ by the FAA[1] but has no designation from the IATA.[3]
