Sachigo Lake Airport, (IATA: ZPB, ICAO: CZPB), is located 1.5 nautical miles (2.8 km; 1.7 mi) north of the First Nations community of Sachigo Lake, Ontario, Canada.

Because Sachigo Lake First Nation is a "dry" community that forbids alcohol, each arriving passenger has their luggage searched in a separate arrivals building to make sure they are not bringing any contraband in with them.

Accidents and incidents

On 19 January 1986, Douglas C-47A C-GNNA of Austin Airways struck a 150 ft (46 m) high Non-directional beacon tower and crashed at Sachigo Lake Airport.
