Airports Authority Regulations (Fees) (Temporary Order)
5777-2016
In September 2016, the Knesset Finance Committee approved the
Airports Authority Regulations (Fees) (Temporary Order) 5777-2016.
The regulations provide that fees will not be collected from an
owner of an aircraft for landing, passenger entry service, air
control services and departing passenger services for civilian
aviation at the Ovda Airport. In contrast, a parking fee will
continue to be charged. The regulations came into force on October
1, 2016, and will apply until an order is published pursuant to
Section 5(A)(4) of the Airports Authority Law 5737-1977 on the
termination of the provision of services to the civilian aviation
of Ovda Airport. A transcript from the meeting of the Knesset
Finance Committee shows that the purpose of the regulations is to
encourage and strengthen Tourism in Eilat.
