One of the inescapable facts of the aerospace industry is it’s inherently global and international nature.
According to one source, there are over 15,000 airports in the world. And these are just the larger airports. This number does not include the thousands of private airfields, small rural airstrips, heliports, and other nominal facilities.
In fact, the only country without an airport is Vatican City!
Of these thousands of airports around the globe, a significant number of them are categorized as ‘international’ airports meaning that they are typically equipped with customs and immigration facilities to handle international flights to and from other nations.
Aerospace Industry in Israel
Israel is a nation that is often at the center of international news and, at times, controversy. And, for a nation that only boasts a population of just 9.6 million residents, it has an oversized impact on the world stage.
With just 0.1 percent of the world’s population in a country that is only 8,630 square miles (22,145 sq.km), it shouldn’t be surprising that there are just three international airports in Israel.
These facilities are Ramon Airport (ETM) located in Eilat, Haifa Airport (HFA) in Haifa, and the well-known Ben Gurion Airport (TLV) in the city of Tel Aviv.
Ramon Airport is the second largest of the three facilities with the potential for handling up to two million passengers a year. Haifa Airport was established by the British Mandate in 1934 as its first international airport at the location of RAF Station Haifa.
Ben Gurion Airport is the main international airport of Israel and the busiest one in the country. The airport is located on the northern outskirts of the city of Lod, northwest of Jerusalem and southeast of Tel Aviv. As recently as 2019, Ben Gurion Airport handled 24.8 million passengers.
In addition, the airport is widely considered to be among the five best airports in the Middle East, largely due to its passenger experience as well as its high level of security.
With over 70 international and local airlines operating at the airport, along with almost a dozen cargo airlines on site, Ben Gurion presents a large volume of aircraft repair and maintenance work that often requires the services of companies like AAA Air Support.
A vital part of our world-class customer service includes the ability to communicate with our international customers 24/7 as we are staffed to respond to any and all urgent inquiries.

AAA Air Support Offers Exceptional Service and Availability
We offer a wide variety of aerospace parts and other metal supply services. We specialize in aerospace roll forming. Roll forming is a process that uses a coil or strip of metal, which is continuously passed through shaping rollers and dies to form the desired profile.
We can manufacture roll form products using various grades of aluminum, steel and titanium and we can produce roll form in sections up to 75 feet in length, custom “one off” sections and multiple production runs.
Our approach to product shipments is intensely “hands on,” systematized, and success driven.
When your product ships from our facility, we have taken strict measures to guarantee that all materials are properly certified, preserved and packed in compliance with each customers’ specific requirements. Our proprietary packing standards far exceed industry basic criteria.
We are proud of our relationships with our loyal customers.
These include Korean Aerospace Industries, Spirit AeroSystems, United and American Airlines, and Turkish Aerospace Industries. We also work extremely closely with multiple international and domestic MRO Organizations. In addition, AAA Air Support actively participates in multiple projects for Boeing Commercial Aircraft, including many of their Aircraft on Ground (AOG) subsidiary jobs.
Our Gardena, California office offers on-line ‘live chat’ through our website. We encourage customers to make use of this convenient tool to check inventory, pricing, lead-times, material certification, and any and all other questions relevant to our industry. We offer this function as a convenience to busy, challenged, and dedicated purchasing agents.
No matter whether you need 100 feet of an aluminum alloy product, or just a few sheets of clad aluminum, AAA Air Support promises to always ship out your part orders quickly and efficiently.
Our goal always is to provide your company with the means to complete that project or get that airplane off the ground and back in the air.
