Sloulin Field International Airport (IATA: ISN[2], ICAO: KISN, FAA LID: ISN) is a public use airport serving Williston, a city in Williams County, North Dakota, United States.[1] It is owned by the City of Williston and located two nautical miles (4 km) north of its central business district.[1] This airport is included in the National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2011–2015, which categorized it as a primary commercial service facility.[3]

Customs service is available for aircraft arriving from Canada and other countries. ISN has no scheduled passenger airline service out of the country but receives its international title (like many other airports) because of this customs service.

ISN is mostly used for general aviation but is served by United Express, which offers four flights a day with service to Denver. Delta Connection offers four flights a day with service to Minneapolis/St. Paul.

Regular flights are operated by small cargo aircraft for the inwards and outwards distribution of parcels and light freight.
