Israel's cabinet on Sunday approved plans for a new international airport near the southern resort town of Eilat said Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

Speaking ahead of his weekly cabinet meeting, in which the airport project was approved, Netanyahu said the airport would be located in Timna, northeast of Eilat, in the southern Aravah region of the Negev desert.

"It will be an alternative to Ben-Gurion international airport and serve as an additional international airport for the state of Israel. It will also be an alternative airport for Eilat," he said.
