Sandpoint Airport (ICAO: KSZT, FAA LID: SZT) is a county-owned public-use airport in the northwest United States, located two nautical miles (4 km) north of the central business district of Sandpoint in Bonner County, Idaho.[1] The airport is also known as Dave Wall Field.[2]

Although most U.S. airports use the same three-letter location identifier for the FAA and IATA, this airport is assigned SZT by the FAA but has no designation from the IATA[3] (which assigned SZT to San Cristóbal de las Casas National Airport in Mexico[4]).
