Eastern Slopes Regional Airport airport codes|FRY|KIZG|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. 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. [ [http://gc.kls2.com/airport/FRY Great Circle Mapper: FRY / KIZG - Fryeburg, Maine (Eastern Slopes Regional Airport)] ]

History

The airport was built to replace the North Conway airport (closed in 1988 [ [http://www.airfields-freeman.com/NH/Airfields_NH.htm#whitemountain Abandoned & Little-Known Airfields: White Mountain Airport (CWN), North Conway, New Hampshire] ] 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.
