Yes, it's quite an old airport dating back to the British mandate, it's extremely small AFAIK.
Arkia "won" a government contract many years ago to operate flights to/from it but they lost a considerable amount of money due to that binding deal. I'm surprised anyone decided to give it another try.
Prices seems really high to me but on the other hand it would be great to fly it since they are using a Short-360, an aircraft I never had a chance to fly with.
