History

The airport was constructed by Israel in 1972 during its occupation of Sinai following the Six-Day War. Known as the Etzion Air Force Base,[6] it was demilitarized in 1979 with the Egypt–Israel peace treaty. Then Israel's "Golden Eagle", "Phoenix", and "Smashing Parrot" squadrons moved out and the land there was restored to Egyptian control.[7]

A condition of that peace treaty allows tourists to visit certain areas in Egypt, near Taba, for up to 14 days, without a visa. So from Israel and Jordan, travelers and tourists cross the border at Taba, in buses to visit resorts.[8] Egyptian taxis can take fares up to the Israel border but no further.[9]

The airport is located 13 kilometers from Taba and 30 kilometers from Taba Heights, near El Nakb, and adjacent to Eilat, Israel. The airport was named El Nakb Airport. A new terminal building and night lighting[10] was added and the airport was then renamed Taba International Airport in November 2000.[4]

The airport receives charter flights.[11] Traffic at the airport declined considerably. In 2014, the airport served 41,142 and in 2015, only 13,488 (a 67.2% decline).[12] In 2016, it was announced that Thales Group would be modernizing Air Traffic Management at Taba International Airport.[13]

In May 2018, it was announced that charter flights to the airport would resume, initially with flights from Poland and then from the Czech Republic.[14][15]

As of 2023, Taba Airport is served by charter flights from Katowice, Prague, Brno and Bratislava.
