'Clear Skies over Bar Refaeli Wedding or Lose Job'
The saga over the airspace above supermodel Bar Refaeli's wedding continued on Wednesday - less than a day before the event.
Last Friday, the Civil Aviation Authority published orders to pilots and airlines, declaring a massive section of airspace over the ceremony as a no-fly zone during the wedding to be held Thursday from 5 p.m. until 2 a.m. However, on Sunday, amid public outrage, Transportation Minister Yisrael Katz overturned the order, instructing authorities to keep the airspace open.
On Tuesday, just prior to Yom Kippur, the Civil Aviation Authority reinstated the order, albeit with limitations.
The Transportation Authority issued a statement last night, in which Katz told CAA head Joel Feldshuh: "If the skies above Bar Refaeli's wedding won't be open, you will be removed from your post."
