With the establishment of the Israel Airports Authority in 1977, the airport was handed over to IAA’s responsibility. Haifa Airport, named after Uri Michaeli (one of the founders of civil aviation in Israel), is an international airport located at the eastern entrance to the city of Haifa. The airport is managed by the Israel Airports Authority and serves both as a domestic aviation hub servicing other domestic airports – primarily Ramon Airport in Eilat – and as an international airport from which charter, private and commercial flights depart to nearby destinations.

In 1998, a new and modern terminal was inaugurated for use by the airport’s passengers.

In 2012, the IAA took over responsibility for air traffic control services and fire and rescue services from the Israeli Air Force.

In 2014, a new entrance hall was inaugurated at the northern entrance to the terminal.

In 2016, a new parking lot for light aircraft was built in the northeastern area of the airport.

Since 2016 and to date, the airport has undergone continuous development within its premises, expanding and constructing an external parking lot, renovating the runway, the terminal, and future plans for a hangar complex and new buildings.
