Ben Gurion night flights set to resume, despite risk of noise
By Haaretz Staff and Channel 10
Tags: Noise pollution 
Haaretz.com/Channel 10 daily feature for January 24, 2008.

Ten years ago, night flights into and out of Ben Gurion International airport were discontinued due to the effects of the noise they made on nearby communities.

But documents from the Transportations and Environmental Protection Ministries reveal late night flights will soon be reintroduced, despite objections by local municipal leaders.
