Supreme Court Hearing on the Petition re the Flights is today at 11:30AM

We would like to remind you that the hearing in the Supreme Court on the Modiin Municipality petition regarding the flights over our city is taking place today, Monday November 1st at 11:30AM at hall D. Click here for the Supreme Court location and driving instructions in Google Maps.

If you are working in Jerusalem you can simply take an early lunch break and come to attend the hearing. If you are in Modiin why not hop over? It’s only a half an hour drive. The more residents that are present in the hearing the more likely the judges are going to get the message that this the flights constitute a significant detriment to Modiin residents.

On Friday last week (October 29th) between 2:20-5:00AM an especially large number of flights disturbed the sleep of many Modiin residents. One resident documented the precise hour and minute that the flights flew by and counted no less than 23 flights. Here is the schedule she documented:

The Bagatz hearing has been postponed to November 1st

We’d like to notify you that the hearing in the Supreme Court of the Modiin Municipality petition against the flights which was scheduled for tomorrow October 11th has been postponed to Monday November 1st, 11:30AM. The hearing will be held in the hall D of the Supreme Court in Jerusalem.

Clear Skies recommends to Modiin-Maccabim-Reut residents who can attend this hearing to do so. If the Supreme Court Judges see a large crowd of residents they may deduce that the flights severly impact our quality of life. If only a small number of residents are present this may send the opposite message.

We invite residents who plan on attending the hearing to email us at planes@modiin.us and to let us know if you can offer a ride to fellow residents. If you would like to attend the hearing and you need a ride, please also email us and we will try to match you up.

In your email please state the following:

• What hour you plan on leaving Modiin in the morning
• Return destination after the court hearing
• Number of available seats
• Name, email address and mobile phone number

You are welcome to read in Modiin-Watch the letter sent by Giora Rom, head of the CAA, in response to Mayor Bibas strong letter to him (Rom’s letter was not published by the municipality despite Rom expressing interest in its publication to the public).
