Gaza International Airport

Gaza International Airport is located in the Gaza Strip, close to the Egyptian border.

The airport was formally inaugurated on the 24 November, 1998, after a year of construction. The opening was delayed almost a year before an agreement was signed regarding the airport.

Because of the violence in the Gaza Strip, Israeli authorities closed the airport in November of 2000, some two months after the start of violence.

Runway

Gaza International has one runway(3080m x 60m), which is, as of 2004, unusable.
