๐ข Terminal Information
Beersheba (Teyman) Airport (BEV) serves the city of Beersheba in Israel's southern region, famously known as the 'Capital of the Negev.' This historic airfield, built during WWII for the RAF Western Desert Campaign, now primarily supports flight training, general aviation, and charter services. It does not host scheduled commercial passenger services; commercial travelers typically utilize larger airports like Tel Aviv Ben Gurion (TLV) for their connections. The airport features a single runway (14/32) and basic terminal facilities, including washrooms, a seating area, and an information desk. It has been managed by Ayit Aviation for over 25 years, focusing on its role as a flight training and general aviation hub.
Operational procedures at BEV are strictly tailored for general aviation and flight training activities. There is no air traffic control tower for much of its operation; pilots communicate on a Common Traffic Advisory Frequency (CTAF). Consequently, there are no TSA-style security checkpoints, baggage handling systems, or traditional boarding gates. Passengers and pilots access their aircraft directly. The airport is an active center for gliding and skydiving operations, adding to its dynamic aviation environment. Due to its desert location, weather conditions are generally favorable for flying, though extreme heat in summer can affect aircraft performance.
Amenities at Beersheba (Teyman) Airport are limited but functional for its users. The small terminal may offer a basic cafรฉ and shops. For ground transportation, car rental, taxi, and parking facilities are available. The airport serves as a convenient gateway to the Negev Desert region, offering access to its unique landscapes, Bedouin culture, and southern Israel attractions, including the Ben-Gurion University of the Negev and various historical sites within Beersheba. The historic airfield continues to play an important role in Israeli aviation, particularly for pilot education and private flights.
