A couple of operators used Ovda as the airport for Taba, just over the border in Egypt, after Taba airport had operational problems. The border crossing wasn't always the most comfortable: but with Taba popular with Israelis seeking R&R, it worked.

Who knows - with Taba still out of commission, that sort of arrangement might have legs. Sadly, Longwood one of the specialist operators, went bust.
