Dear Sirs,

I vehemently oppose the intention of the aviation authorities to convert Modiin-Maccabim-Reut into part of Ben Gurion Airport and to bring planes down, in their landing path, at a height of 300 meters above our heads, every 10 minutes in the afternoon hours.

With this plan you will impose on us and our children unacceptable and untenable hardships of noise and air pollution.  But most of all a life threatening danger, every 10 minutes in the event of human or mechanical failure that might cause a crash into one of our tall buildings, which are built on hills, and cause an unfathomable  human catastrophe.

We chose to live in Modiin as a quiet and green city and a good place to raise our children.  In order to achieve this we took on upon ourselves longer commutes to our places of employment.  If we were interested in living in one of the existing residential communities surrounding Ben Gurion airport , we would have chosen to do so.

It is unacceptable that the residents of Modiin-Macabim-Reut should be expected to pay the price due to the failure and omissions of the aviation planning authorities  for the past years upon years to address flight safety issues. This is an outright arbitrary maltreatment  by the authorities, of the citizens.

We demand the implementation of the recommendation issued by the Knesset Economic Committee to establish a committee of independent experts that will examine the  alternative landing paths while taking into consideration the impact on the safety and quality of life of the residents of Modiin-Macabim-Reut.

Sincerely

Name
Address

PS

Register for our protest convoy!

On Friday morning July 24th we are organizing a convoy of cars from Modiin to Ben Gurion Airport to join the proposed landing paths. We will convene at 10:30AM in the parking lot in front of the Municipality and embark together on our journey to Ben Gurion Airport at 11:00AM.

If you are able to attend the convoy please email your name and mobile phone number to planes@modiin.us so we can update you on the exact time and place.
