City of Presque Isle – Presque Isle International Airport (General Aviation Terminal)
The City of Presque Isle directly operates PQI's only FBO (General Aviation Terminal), selling Jet A and 100LL avgas, full-serve and self-serve, via Avfuel. Note: 'Northern Aroostook Regional Airport' (WFK/KFVE) is a distinct, separate airport in Frenchville, ME within the same county -- there is no evidence PQI's FBO was ever branded under that name, so any 'Northern Aroostook' FBO reference for PQI is a mix-up between the two facilities, not a prior brand of this FBO. · Mon-Fri 4:00am-7:30pm, Sat 4:00am-6:00pm, Sun 7:00am-5:00pm (per FBO listings)

Cargo handling

Wiggins Airways
Wiggins Airways operates as the FedEx Feeder carrier at PQI, flying Cessna 208 Caravans on scheduled freight routes to Bangor, Manchester-Boston, and Portland. As a small single-daily-flight feeder operation it likely handles its own ramp/cargo turn at the station, but no source confirms this self-handling arrangement specifically at PQI -- treat as unconfirmed rather than established fact.
