Opened in 1963 and just a short drive from the Masada fortress, it handles sightseeing flights, Dead Sea skydiving and occasional charters rather than any scheduled or freight service. The combination of extreme low altitude and desert heat raises density altitude and limits the payload of the light aircraft that use it.
