Wizz Air Considers Permanent Base at Eilat’s Ramon Airport

Great news for travelers planning to visit Eilat! Hungarian low-cost airline Wizz Air is seriously considering establishing a permanent base at Ramon Airport, Israel’s newest gateway to the Red Sea resort city.

Senior executives from the Budapest-based airline recently completed a two-day working visit to Eilat, where they held meetings with city officials and representatives from Israel’s Ministry of Transportation. The delegation also toured local tourism sites and conducted a thorough inspection of Ramon Airport facilities.

This potential development is part of the Israeli government’s broader initiative to strengthen air connections to Eilat, making it easier and more affordable for international visitors to reach this stunning desert destination. A permanent Wizz Air base could mean more frequent flights and potentially better prices for travelers from Europe.

Ramon Airport, which opened in 2019, was specifically designed to boost tourism to Eilat and the surrounding region. If Wizz Air moves forward with their plans, it would significantly expand flight options for visitors wanting to experience Eilat’s world-class diving, desert adventures, and year-round sunshine.
