What is Plane Pull?

The initiative began in the U.S. and nowadays it takes place in different parts of the world, with the aim to assist a non-profit organization. Countries that carry out “Plane Pull” include Canada, the UK, Ireland, and others.

The first Plane Pull took place in Greece, on Friday May 27,  in the facilities of Athens International Airport. The event was for a good cause, as the activities were supported by the organization “The smile of the child” (Hamogelo tou paidiou), for the aid of children who face health problems.
