The protest convoy will take place this coming Friday July 24th. We will gather at the parking lot across from the Iriya at 9:30 AM and will leave for the airport at 10:00 AM sharp, via route 443 to route 1. The convoy is with the police approval and escort. Mayor Haim Bibas will lead this convoy.
Please register for the convoy by emailing planes@modiin.us and state your cell phone number so we can keep you posted on last minute updates.
In a meeting last week with Giyora Rom, the chief operations manager of the Civil Aviation Administration, he stated clearly that he will be approving within a few days the new landing path over Modiin (see details here). Thus we are intensifying our struggle and are launching a FIERCE PROTEST CONVOY of civilian vehicles, from Modiin to Ben Gurion airport. Police permits have been secured, and there will be a police escort.
The convoy will leave Modiin via the Shilat junction onto Route 443 into route 1 and straight into the airport and will conclude with a demonstration across from the offices of the Civil Aviation Administration at the airport. It is imperative that this demonstration be forceful and we expect that the residents of Modiin will come out in full force to express their rejection of the authority’s intention of converting Modiin to a part of Ben Gurion airport.
We demand from the Minister of Transportation to implement the recommendations of the economics committee of the Knesset to establish a committee of independent experts that will examine the alternatives for the proposed landing paths and it’s negative repercussions for Modiin-Macabim-Reut and its residents.
It is incomprehensible that the entire procedure of implementing new decisions by the government rests entirely on the recommendation of one planner at the Israeli Airport Authority who is determined to convert Modiin to be part of Ben Gurion Airport and who categorically rejects every other proposed alternative.
Yesterday we unveiled the details of the trial flights that were performed above the city as well as additional information that casts grave doubts about the credibility of the information presented by the airport authorities to the Knesset Members (see details here).
Meeting with Mayor Haim Bibas
