Window Rock Airport (ICAO: KRQE, FAA LID: RQE, formerly P34) is a public use airport located one nautical mile (2 km) south of the central business district of Window Rock, in Apache County, Arizona, United States. It is owned by the Navajo Nation.
This is one of six airports owned by the Navajo Nation; the other five being Chinle Airport (E91), Kayenta Airport (0V7) and Tuba City Airport (T03) in Arizona, plus Crownpoint Airport (0E8) and Shiprock Airport (5V5) in New Mexico.
Although most U.S. airports use the same three-letter location identifier for the FAA and IATA, this airport is assigned RQE by the FAA, but has no designation from the IATA. Prior to December 1998, its FAA identifier was P34.
