1. Nice,
(01.21.19)
but without a train connection to the north, the capacity of this airport is severely limited. The buses are overcrowded already. How are the travellers supposed to get further after landing?
2. $ 500 million for one runway. somebody got really rich quick
oleg ,   florida   (01.21.19)
the police anti corruption unit should investigate. impossible and crazy costs.
3. If Jordan thinks the airport is too close to the border
Jake ,   Dallas   (01.22.19)
Then Israel can move the border a few miles east. Jordan is getting tiresome with their constant whining and Jew hatred and non-stop ill manners. Their little half English "King" needs to be thinking about why he remains on his throne at all and not in Switzerland with his Swiss Bank accounts.
4. hotels dont benefit
doran ,   london   (01.22.19)
because they are so damned expensive
who will pay $ 150 for flight and then $150 per night to stay
hoteliers be reasonable and they will come ......duh
5. Jordanian protest is BS
Igor ,   Germany   (01.22.19)
The old Eilat airport is 6 km closer to the Aqaba airport and only 500 m further away from the Jordanian Border than the Ramon airport. As far as I can remember, there were no security incidents concerning Jordan arising from the old Eilat airport.
6. ITS THE SECOND COMING, ITS THE SECOND COMING
OLEG ,   fort lauderdale, FL   (01.28.19)
How many airports a country which is 8000 sq miles big need.airports?. friends forget and stop comparing yourselves to america or being a superpower. the 500 millions could have gone to improve the lives of poor israelis and the messy roads and public transportation. And with the left over money purchase a plane for Bibi's overseas travel. that's my point. shalom to you all.
