De herkomst van de luchtvaart in Eilat is nauw verweven met conflicten, vrede en strategische herinrichting van Israëlische luchtruim. De geschiedenis loopt van de Operation Ovda tijdens de Onafhankelijkheidsoorlog tot de huidige functie van de Ilan en Assaf Ramon International Airport als belangrijke zuidelijke toegangspoort tot het land.
Operatie Ovda en de bevrijding van Eilat
During Operation Ovda, the Negev Brigade captured Eilat, the Golani Brigade captured the southern Negev, and the Alexandroni Brigade captured Masada And Ein Gedi. At the end of the operation, the late Avraham Aden (Bern), a company commander in the Negev Brigade, hoisted the famous ink flag at Umm Rashrash, which later became Eilat.
A few months later, the Air Force paved the first runway for landing and taking off for light aircrafts, in order to ensure air contact between the isolated Eilat and the center of the country - this route later became the Eilat International Airport.
Eerste stappen en verplaatsing van de luchthaven
With the cliff of times, when passenger traffic increased and there was a significant increase in international and domestic tourism to Eilat, the location of the airport at the entrance to the city began to pose a safety hazard and it was necessary to decide to relocate it to an open and safe area.
In May 2013, construction began on a new airport named after "Ilan and Assaf Ramon." The new airport is located about twenty km north of the city of Eilat. In 1982 the Ovda airport was established as part of the peace agreement with Egypt. "An eagle will soar and swoop down, spreading its wings" (Jeremiah 22)Ilan and Assaf Ramon Airport is the new airport of the city of Eilat replacing the airports of Eilat and Ovda.
Ramon Airport Eilat: locatie en rol
Ramon Airport Eilat is located about 19 km north of the city of Eilat and is actually the southern air gate of the State of Israel. The airport serves domestic and international tourism to the city of Eilat and to the southern resorts of the country, the Arava, Mitzpe Ramon and the Dead Sea.
The Ilan and Assaf Ramon Airport is a unique national project due to being the first international and domestic airport that was designed and built from the ground up by the Israel Airports Authority and is a testament to the Authority's expertise in the field of aviation.
The airport has a 3,600-square-meter runway, which allows activity for most types of aircraft to any destination. At the airport, a shuttle route, parking lots, an advanced energy center, a luggage sorting system with state-of-the-art technology, advanced systems for security checks, a fire station, modern operating and support areas were built. The control tower rises to a height of about fifty meters and meets advanced international standards.

Firstly there is the controversial issue of whether Sde Dov airport in Tel Aviv should be closed. Secondly there is a decision on where to build Israel's new international airport, which will be an alternative to Ben Gurion airport.
Ramon-luchtruim en de toekomst van de luchtvaart in Zuid-Israel
Ramon Airbase, in the Southern District of Israel, northwest of Mitzpe Ramon and near the Egyptian border, is a base of the Israeli Air Force. It was built between 1979 and 1982 as a replacement for bases on the Sinai Peninsula that were abandoned following the Camp David Accords. The airbase has two runways and houses three fighter squadrons - the 119th Squadron “Bat” with F-16I Sufa, the 201st Squadron “The One” also with F-16I Sufa, and the 253rd Squadron “Negev” with F-16I Sufa - as well as two attack helicopter squadrons, the 113th Squadron “Hornet” and the 190th Squadron “Magic Touch” with AH-64A/D Apache. In September 2007, Ramon was involved in Operation Orchard, which destroyed a Syrian reactor.
