We at Dare County Regional Airport (DCRA) want to welcome you to the beautiful island of Roanoke.  The airport is owned by the County of Dare and is operated under a nine member Airport Authority. 

Located just 18 driving miles from First Flight Airport and the Wright Brothers National Memorial, the airport has a lot to offer those visitors to our community.  With the North Carolina Aquarium located at the entrance to the terminal, the airport's location rests on the waterfront. 

At the waters edge, the airport borders the beach that has a lifeguard from Memorial Day to Labor Day, an open air pavilion on the sound with charcoal grills, picnic tables, and a restroom all overlooking the sandy beach.

DCRA serves as home to several businesses located at the airport which provide support services to our local business community as well as our local and Itinerant pilots.  Home to the Emergency Management Service MMB BK117 helicopter, they provide emergency medevac services to the region.

The airports economic impact to the region is  $25,353,200 employing 46 people  directly with a tax revenue calculated at over $20,000 per year.  Airport information and services can be found by selecting this link.
