The largest airport in Israel is Ben Gurion Airport.
It is an international airport.
It can handle up to about 40 million passengers a year.
In recent years, the airport has been very crowded.
Experts believe that in the future it will not be able to handle the load.

The airport will be built in Ziklag in the Negev. This is an area in the south of the country, near Rahat. The government is also expected to promote an airport in Ramat David, in northern Israel.
In the past, experts opposed building an airport in Ziklag due to its proximity to Gaza. The construction process is expected to take at least ten years.
