Megiddo Airport (known as Shachar 7 by the Israel Defense Forces) (IATA: N/A, ICAO: LLMG), is an Israeli airport located near Megiddo and 3 km southwest of Afula in Jezreel Valley. It currently handles private and agricultural flights. It formerly served as an Israeli Air Force base which was decommissioned in the mid-1980s.
In April 2006, Jezreel Valley Regional Council announced that an international airport will be constructed in Megiddo in cooperation with a number of authorities. The new airport is located on a 400 dunam (400,000 m², 100 acres) site and construction is to cost $35 million. Officials report that the airport will undoubtedly increase tourism to the Jezreel Valley and surrounding areas.
