Beersheba (Teyman) Airport (BEV)

Connecting through Beersheba (Teyman) Airport (BEV), also known as Sde Teiman, is a specialized experience tailored for general aviation and adventure sports. As the airport does not host scheduled commercial airline services, 'connections' typically involve transitioning to ground transport for travel to Tel Aviv Ben Gurion (TLV), located approximately 102 km (63 miles) to the north. A taxi to Tel Aviv or the airport takes about 75 minutes and costs between ₪420 and ₪550. For a more budget-friendly link, you can take a short taxi ride to the Beersheba Central Bus Station or one of the city's two railway stations. From there, Israel Railways and Metropoline buses (Line 369) provide frequent hourly service to central Tel Aviv and connections to the international terminal at TLV. For those visiting for aviation activities, the airfield is the premier hub for skydiving in Israel, home to the SkyKef club. Travelers should use 'Sde Teiman' or 'SkyKef' in navigation apps to avoid confusion with nearby restricted military zones. It is highly recommended to pre-book your return taxi, as vehicles are rarely available for immediate hire at the airfield gates. Note that all public transportation in the region, including trains and buses, ceases operation on Friday afternoons for Shabbat and does not resume until Saturday evening; only taxis remain operational during this period, often at a higher Sabbath tariff. The terminal provides fundamental amenities such as a pilot lounge and a small café, but lacks ATMs and retail shops. Pilots and skydivers should also be mindful of the intense Negev desert heat during summer afternoons, which can significantly impact aircraft performance and density altitude. Coordination with Ayit Aviation, the long-term facility manager, is advisable for any specialized hangar or ground handling requirements.
