Answer» What is Eilat Airport mean?

Eilat Airport (Hebrew: שְׂדֵה הַתְּעוּפָה אֵילַת‎, Namal HaTe'ufa Eilat; also known as J. Hozman Airport; Arabic: مطار إيلات‎ (IATA: ETH, ICAO: LLET)) is a defunct airport located in Eilat, Israel. It was named after Arkia Airlines founder Yakov Hozman (Jacob Housman) and is located in the center of Eilat adjacent to Route 90 (The Arava Road). Due to its short runway and limited capacity it mainly handled domestic flights from Tel Aviv and Haifa Airports, while Uvda International Airport, located some 60 km north of the city handled Eilat's international carriers.

The airport was expected to cease operations on October 27, 2018 with the opening of the new Ramon Airport However, the opening of the new airport was delayed until January 21, 2019.

Following the inauguration of Ramon airport located approximately 20 km north of the city, Eilat Airport ceased operations on 18 March 2019. The new, larger airport now handles all of Eilat's domestic and international flights.
