History:
Herzliya Airfield was established during the War of Independence,
as a military airstrip for a combat flying squadron. After the war it
became an agricultural landing field, where agricultural flying activity
and maintenance in Israel were concentrated.
Over
the years, the airfield became an Israeli center for training pilots and
a range of very diverse activities in the area of private flight. Private
aircraft arrived at the airfield, flying schools were set up, parking
aprons were paved, the landing/ takeoff strip was extended and the control
tower and fire station were constructed, in line with the standards.
In May 1978, the airfield was transferred from the responsibility of
the Civil Aviation Administration to the Israel Airports Authority.
Today users can enjoy a wide range of activity at the airfield, including:
courses on flying and flight simulators, theoretical studies, private
flights at weekends, hire of airplanes and helicopters for pleasure flights,
aerial photography and air taxi services.
