“…Ben-Gurion International Airport is located in the vicinity of very populated areas. The noise level is excessively high and the people living in the vicinity of Ben-Gurion Airport justifiably complain about this intolerable noise [22,23].…”

Israel has just one major international airport named Ben-Gurion International Airport. Ben-Gurion Airport is overloaded and currently the Air Traffic Control in the airport is a very tough and complicated task. In addition Ben-Gurion airport operates 24 hours a day for landings and in some days also 24 hours for takeoffs, which causes intolerable noise level. This paper explores the current state of affairs in Ben-Gurion Airport and suggests a possible complementary International Airport in Dothan Valley.

“…A large parking lot in Um El Hamam can free the expensive lands near the airport for other better uses like shopping mall, hotels and other services for tourists. Housing in the surroundings of Ben-Gurion is not advisable because of the noise of the landing and departing airplanes exceeds the common thresholds [21][22] and some researches have pointed out that extremely loud noises may harm the physical and the mental health of the hearer [23].…”

“…Approximately 19,000 airplanes have traveled to and from Eilat airport at 2014 [37]. The noise of the airplanes departure and arrival at the center of Israel instigated protests against the nuisance [38] and authorities are seeking how to alleviate this problem [39,40]. The traffic from and to Eilat is certainly only a fraction of the entire traffic to the center of Israel; however even moving some of this traffic to trains can be advantageous.…”

Many successful land-bridge projects have been constructed around the world. This fact has led the Israeli government to design a land bridge from Eilat Port on the Red Sea coast to the Ashdod Port on the Mediterranean Sea coast. The planned project is expected to realize many benefits and profits. These are grouped into two groups. The first group comprises considerations associated with freight shipment: consolidation, specialization, and the economic analysis and viability with respect to freight shipment and transshipment. The second group is the social and economic benefits of this project to Israel with respect to connecting the southern periphery with the center of Israel. Recently, the Israeli government approved the construction of a railway to Eilat [4]. This project will bring many benefits and advantages to the Negev area (i.e., the southern part of Israel). Currently, the railway system of Israel is connected to the Mediterranean Sea, but there is no train connecting the Red Sea. A new railway from the Mediterranean Sea to the Red Sea as is suggested by the Israeli government and shown in Figure 1, will be able to compete against the Suez Canal just as the United States trains are a competition for the marine transport going through the Panama Canal. Consequently, as we show in this paper, the new railway will create many new jobs for numerous Israelis and will generate immense revenues to Israel economy. This new transportation project's vision is analogous to the vision of the prominent Interstate Highway system constructed by the 34th President of the United States Dwight David Eisenhower [ 5 , 6 ]. Similar to the Interstate Highway System, the Mediterranean Sea to the Red Sea railway has these benefits: • Positive impact on the Israel economy by expanding access to freight and reducing freight costs and subsequently improving the economic efficiency and productivity. • Increased access to the less expensive land of the vast Negev region and the development of the Negev area.
