(March 16, 2021 / JNS) In honor of “Good Deeds Day,” the pilot’s seat of EL AL’s Boeing 737 flight simulator was replaced on Tuesday with a wheelchair to give Israelis with disabilities the experience of piloting a plane.
A joint initiative between EL AL’s “Fly Card” credit-card and Frequent Flyer Club, and ADI Israel’s most comprehensive provider of residential and rehabilitative care for individuals with severe disabilities the opportunity allowed four ADI residents to imagine flying an aircraft as per advanced simulator.
