During the night, the majority of EL AL's long haul operations take place, so this is when the loud RR powered 777s and aging 747s bring their thunder and disturb the residents.
So unless it's a 787 taking off, they are already suffering from the noise.
What's also troubling, is how are they gonna deal with conggestion of airplane traffic both in the air and both on the ground...Better off to do it during winter season.
Aaand, the fact that 30/12 is much shorter than 26/08, so I'm woundering how harsh payload hits could be.
From a different article I read, it says that the repairs will take place effective 27 October, until 5 December.

Runway 12/30 is 10,210 ft long. Hardly short by any stretch of the imagination. It's essentially sea level and in the winter. There will virtually no payload restrictions.

Thanks for the clarification.

El Al’s 747s should be all retired by then.
27 October is considered low-season so this is a good time as ever to do this.
Repairs on this scale are done to the runway approximately once per decade.
The interesting question is whether runway 3/21 will be used for takeoffs, something which rarely happens.

Maybe they’ve already reduced traffic on 8-26?
In any event, noise from 747s should cease to be an issue very soon, unfortunately.
