Eastern Slopes Regional Airport (IATA: FRY, ICAO: KIZG, FAA LID: IZG), also known as Eastern Slopes State Airport, is a public airport located three miles (5 km) southeast of the central business district of Fryeburg, a town in Oxford County, Maine, United States. It is owned by the Eastern Slopes Regional Airport Authority.[1] The airport is accessible from ME-5 in Fryeburg and Brownfield, Maine. It is very close to Conway, New Hampshire.
Although most U.S. airports use the same three-letter location identifier for the FAA and IATA, Enterprise Municipal Airport is assigned IZG by the FAA and FRY by the IATA.[2]

[edit] History
The airport was built to replace the North Conway airport (closed in 1988[3] and now Settler's Green Outlet Village).
Until 2004, the airport served very little purpose except to Dearborn Precision Tubular Products, which used it as a cargo stop. 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. The airport handled 12,605 passengers in 2004.
