As of January 2019, the new Ramon Airport opened in Eilat, which will operate as the new airport serving the south of Israel. Ovda Airport which was previously used in Eilat is no longer operating.

The new airport which is situated about 18 km north of Israel’s southernmost city of Eilat, is in the Timna Valley, and aside from its beautiful location, the airport itself is beautiful inside and out.
