Dozens of mayors push for BG Airport's relocation - Israel News, Ynetnews: "We are all asking for one thing: Let us sleep in peace. It doesn’t' make sense that flight paths are disturbing so many people. In any other part of the world, airports are located in outskirts of cities. The airport should be relocated to the Negev and connected by express train to the center."
The petition, signed by some 30 mayors, aims to promote the notion that a relocation plan will release an area of approximately 7,413 acres, which will enable urban development projects worth more than NIS 50 billion (roughly $13.4 billion).
