Cut Nyak Dhien Airport — Kuala Pesisir, Indonesia

MEQ is Cut Nyak Dhien Airport, located in Kuala Pesisir in Nagan Raya Regency, Aceh province, Indonesia. The airport is named after Cut Nyak Dhien, a revered Acehnese resistance leader who fought against Dutch colonial forces in the nineteenth century, reflecting the strong regional pride in Aceh's independence history. MEQ provides domestic connectivity for western Aceh, an area still rebuilding aspects of its infrastructure following the devastating 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami. Flights from MEQ typically link to Medan or Banda Aceh on small turboprop aircraft operated by Indonesian regional carriers, supporting local government travel, trade in the region's palm oil and agricultural sectors, and limited tourism to Aceh's coastline.
