Uri Michaeli Haifa International Airport, designated by IATA code HFA and ICAO code LLHA, is a civil airport located in Haifa, Israel's third-largest city and primary northern port. Situated on the southeastern shore of Haifa Bay, the airport serves both domestic and limited international routes, functioning as a secondary aviation hub in northern Israel. The airport was named in honor of Uri Michaeli, an Israeli aviation figure, and has historically served as an important link between Haifa and domestic destinations such as Tel Aviv and Eilat. Its operational scale is considerably smaller than Ben Gurion International Airport, the country's main international gateway, and it handles a modest volume of passengers annually. In recent years, the airport has faced reduced activity due to competition from road and rail transport and the dominance of Ben Gurion Airport for international travel. Discussions regarding the airport's future role and potential redevelopment have taken place periodically within Israeli aviation planning circles.
