(haipo) Haifa Airport recorded a sharp increase in passenger traffic in July 2025, on both domestic and international flights, as a continuation of the recovery trend in aviation activity.
According to data from the Airports Authority, the number of passengers during July 2025 was 4,780 passengers on domestic flights from the airport, an increase of approximately 66% compared to 2,878 passengers in June 2025.
In contrast, the number of domestic flights recorded a slight decrease of 25% in July (586 flights) compared to June (783 flights), a figure that may indicate an increase in passenger occupancy per flight or a change in schedules.
More passengers, more flights
In the area of international flight traffic, an even more impressive increase was recorded. The number of passengers passing through Haifa Airport during July was 26,338 passengers, a jump of approximately 60% compared to 16,457 passengers in June. This trend is also visible in the number of flights, where an increase of 9.5% was recorded from 469 international flights in June to 514 in July 2025.
"Air Haifa" continues to grow
A similar trend was also recorded in the activities of "Air Haifa", the local airline that operates regular routes from the airport. In July, 1,857 passengers flew on the company's domestic flights, an increase compared to 1,260 passengers in June. The number of flights themselves was relatively stable, with 30 flights in July compared to 28 in June.
Air Haifa's international flight data shows a sharp increase again. In July, 25,796 passengers flew with the company, compared to 15,887 in June. The number of flights also increased, from 336 in June to 392 in July.
The data indicates a growing demand for flights from the northern airport, with the weather, summer, vacations and a preference for short and convenient flights possibly explaining the increase in activity. Haifa Airport, located in the heart of the Gulf region, offers a convenient alternative to Ben Gurion Airport and continues to position itself as a more significant player on the Israeli aviation map, especially in light of the strengthening of charter and regional flights.

The airport was a disappointment.
We expected to get good prices, both to save on the trip to the airport and to be able to fly comfortably for a short trip, and we got prices that were sky-high more expensive than the airport.
The Israeli public pays any price, so prices will continue to be high.
What about the parking????
It is clear that in June there was a war with Iran, and the airport was not operational.
Haifa is the most developed city in Israel.
From Haifa to Larnaca and back costs 1300 NIS per person from Ben Gurion on the same dates costs 800 NIS per person via Wizzair
So fly from Ben Gurion, what do you want?
Wonderful news indeed for the residents of the North!
Yes, the flights and destinations will increase,
There is no doubt that the demand trend will only continue to increase.
Come on, good luck,
The success of Air Haifa is salvation and success for the residents of the north.
How fun..they should expand the airport for longer flights. 5 minutes from home without relying on Israel Railways and reaching the madhouse at Ben Gurion Airport…the time has come
A flight to Larnaca and back from Haifa costs 1300 NIS per person, from Ben Gurion with Wizz Air on the same dates costs 800 NIS per person.
