I remember flying to Ovda in the days Sobelair was still around. It's a good little airport that's actually part of a bigger Israeli Air Force base. The airport is in the Neguev desert and the drive down to Eilat (I'm assuming that's where you are going) is quite interesting and pleasant.

I'm not 100% sure who flies there now.

I flew to Ovda with Britannia Airways I think it's mainly used by ElAl and charter airlines.

I flew there in 1998 with VEX - an approx. 3.5 hrs flight; VEX took tourists for both Aqaba (Jordan) and Eilat (Isr) over there.
