Eastern Slopes Regional Airport (IATA: IZG, ICAO: KIZG), also known as Eastern Slopes State Airport, is a public airport located three miles (5 km) southeast of Fryeburg, in Oxford County, Maine, USA.

Built to replace the North Conway Airport (now Settler's Green Outlet Village), the airport began in 2004 to undergo transformation and become a commercial airport. In 2004, the airport handled 12,605 passengers.

[edit] History

Until 2004, the airport served very little purpose except to Dearborn Precision Tubular Products, which used it as a cargo stop. However, in 2004, Eastern Slopes Aviation began to try and secure funding for development at the airport, including the construction of a terminal and the establishment of commuter service from the airport to Portland, Maine, slated to begin in spring 2006.
