Ben-Gurion International Airport (TLV) ... תעופה בן גוריון‎) (IATA: TLV, ICAO: LLBG), once widely known as Lod Airport, is located near Lod, 15 km southeast of Tel Aviv, and is the largest international airport in Israel.

All international flights are served via Terminal Three, while domestic flights are served by Terminal One.
