International airports
Currently there are three international airports operational in Israel, managed by the Israel Airports Authority. Ben Gurion Airport serves as the main entrance and exit airport in and out of Israel. Ramon Airport being the second largest airport serves as the primary diversion airport for Ben Gurion Airport. Another, smaller, international airport is Haifa Airport, which also has a military base alongside its civilian terminal.
