Hello and welcome to my flight from Eilat Ramon airport to Tel Aviv on Israir A320-200 (4X-ABI).
Israir is a charter compant that operating flights from Tel Aviv to all around Europe and domestic flights in Israel. They operating flights to Greece, Tirana, Sochi, Batumi, Odessa, Baku, Bucharest, Burgas, Bellgrad, Verona, Varna, Tbilisi, ljubljana, and they will start operate flight to Teneriefe island Via Barcelona for refuling.
Some of Israir flights is departure from Terminal 3 in TLV and all the domestic flights is departure from Terminal 1.
In Ramon new airport just one terminal for domestic and International flights.

5 min ride by bus to landing domestic terminal, which is renewal landing area in Terminal 1.
Landing area in Terminal 1 is located near Fattal terminal lounge for VIP passangers, the new private lounge in the airpot.
There are passengers from Eilat that need medical assistance that don't have in Eilat, so they fly almost every week to TLV to get the medical assistance.
Because of closed old Sde Dov (SDV) airport in beach/center Tel Aviv, israeli airports authority make free shuttle buses to the hospitals in Tel Aviv, that passangers will fly on this flights.
The closing SDV airport result made less passangers flying to Eilat from Ben gurion airport and the airport starts to make decisions to make those flights grow again.
The way out from the landing area to the free shuttle buses to Terminal 3 or to the Sheba/ Tel Hashomer hospitals in Tel Aviv.
Thanks to share ;)
Unfortunately, since Eilat airport closed, I can't find any sense in flight from Tel Aviv to Ramon airport, when You consider the time You'll waste in the check in, the time You need to arrive to the airport, the time You need to arrive to your hotel in Eilat, It seems that driving by car will be much more logical choice (unless You're unable to drive long distances or You don't have driving license).
I can find this airport logical only for tourists and people who live in Haifa.
