IATA

), named after
Ilan
and Assaf Ramon
[1]
and unofficially also known as
Eilat-Ramon Airport
, is an
international airport
located in the
Timna Valley
in southern
Israel
. Ramon Airport is the second largest in Israel (after
Ben Gurion Airport
) and has replaced the
former Eilat Airport
and
Ovda Airport
for civilian traffic. It also serves as the primary
diversion airport
in Israel.
The airport is located 18 km (11 mi) north of
Eilat
, next to
Be'er Ora
. Unlike the previous airport in Eilat, it has ample
ramp
space and a longer 3,600 m (11,800 ft) runway, which allows large aircraft to land and park. The airport was originally due to open in April 2017,
