As of tomorrow, SDV will shut down for all flights.
There's nothing that can compete with a small airport within a major city. The accessibility is just way too attractive.
I find it hard to believe that they allowed this moment to come without at least starting construction on some alternatives (I am also referring to the closure of Eilat airport in favor of Ramon, without at least putting rail service between Eilat and the airport in place).
What do you think, will they create an artificial island and construct an additional airport within the next two decades?
