BUCHAREST, Romania — These are unusual times, and an El Al flight on Monday from Tel Aviv to the Romanian capital of Bucharest reflected today’s current situation.
On Sunday, an email from El Al, followed up on Monday morning with a phone call, asked passengers if they would be willing to carry a package of humanitarian aid on board — a box containing items from medicine to baby food and diapers that could be delivered to Ukrainian refugees arriving in Romania within hours of the plane’s arrival.
