Ocracoke Island Airport

The Most Remote Airport on the Outer Banks

W95 – Ocracoke Island Airport

If you’re visiting Ocracoke Island, there’s no quicker way to reach your destination than by flying with Outer Banks Airlines. Just say the word, and we can fly you to the Ocracoke Island Airport, helping you avoid beach traffic and the ferry required to reach this beautiful, albeit remote island.

Owned by the U.S. National Park Service and operated by the North Carolina Department of Transportation, the Ocracoke Island Airport is a public airport located within the Cape Hatteras National Seashore – less than one mile from Ocracoke’s vibrant downtown. The airport features a runway stretching nearly 3,000 feet long and 60 feet wide, making getting on and off the island a breeze. There’s even a helipad for those traveling by helicopter.

Why Drive When You Can Fly?

Ocracoke Island offers many exciting things to see and do, such as visiting Ocracoke Island Lighthouse, exploring the island’s diverse wildlife or grabbing a bite to eat at Howard’s Pub – an Ocracoke tradition. However, driving to this remote island is less exciting, especially when you factor in the additional 45-minute Hatteras/Ocracoke ferry (not including the wait time for the next ferry). With Outer Banks Airlines, you can avoid the traffic – and the ferry – altogether and reach your destination in no time.
