About Rosh Pina Airport
Rosh Pina Airport is a small domestic airport serving the Upper Galilee and northern Israel. Built in 1943 during the British Mandate as RAF Station Machanaim, it later became a civilian airport connecting the region's towns and communities.
Located in Rosh Pinna, the airport sits about 16 km from Safed, 29 km from Tiberias and 30 km from Kiryat Shmona, placing it close to the Sea of Galilee and the northern Golan area. It primarily handles domestic flights and general aviation rather than international traffic.
Passenger operations are concentrated in a single compact terminal. Facilities have been expanded over time to support scheduled services, with Arkia having operated from the airport since the 1950s and terminal upgrades completed in 1968 and 1994.
Taxis, private transfers and rental cars provide onward connections to Safed, Tiberias, Kiryat Shmona and smaller Galilee communities, making the airport a practical entry point for visitors exploring northern Israel.
