Eilat Airport (,
Namal HaTe'ufa Eilat; ), also known as
J. Hozman Airport , is an
Israeli airport located in the city of
Eilat, and named for Arkia Airlines founder Yakov Hozman (Jacob Housman). Eilat Airport is located in the central area of the city, next to
Route 90 (The Arava Road). It mostly handles domestic flights to
Tel Aviv and
Haifa with international flights operating instead to
Ovda International Airport, but a few international flights on aircraft that can handle the relatively short
runway use Eilat as well.
