Mesquite Metro Airport (ICAO: KHQZFAA LID: HQZ) is a public use airport located in Dallas County, Texas, United States. It is three nautical miles (6 km) east of the central business district of the city of Mesquite.[1] The airport is located west of the border of Dallas County and Kaufman County.[2]

The airport was built with private funding in 1975. In 1983, the city of Mesquite purchased the airport using grant money from the FAA. In 1992, the runway underwent a refurbishment and was lengthened by 1,000 feet.[3]

Although most U.S. airports use the same three-letter location identifier for the FAA and IATA, this airport is assigned HQZ by the FAA but has no designation from the IATA.[4]
