Dov Hoz Airport, commonly known as Sde Dov, serves mainly for domestic flights to the north of the country, to Ein Yahav and to Eilat. The majority of international activities at Sde Dov take place in summer, by Arkia and Israir, for which Sde Dov serves as their home base. They fly to close by destinations but also do private flights, all departing from Terminal 2. Next to these airlines, Also El Rom Airlines and other airlines operate flight services, like pleasure flights over the country, air taxis and helicopter flights. At present, the airport also serves the military who have based some small propellor aircraft here. Sde Dov is located in the Dan Region, close to one of the northern suburbs of the city of Tel Aviv. In 1997, Sde Dov was declared an International Airport for private flights. There have been plans to close down the airport, seeing as it is located in a very central part of Tel Aviv, on rather expensive land. High apartment buildings are being build next to the airport.
