Does Eilat-Ovda airport have ultra-high security like Ben Gurion airport?

Upvote:3

It's been years since I last flew through Ovda, but since nobody else has answered:

It's an Israeli airport, so yes, security is quite strict. But instead of a TSA-style shoe parade where everybody gets subjected to the same idiocy unless they pay, the Israelis profile ruthlessly and you'll be processed quite efficiently if you don't raise any flags (Arab/Muslim name/appearance, evidence of travel to Muslim countries or the Palestinian territories, etc).

Ovda is also a much smaller airport than Ben-Gurion, and it's scheduled to be closed down if/when Ramon Airport opens (October 2018 at time of writing).
