Large porter maybe brought up for airline (2,2)
I believe the answer is:
el al
'airline' is the definition.
(Israeli airline)
'large porter maybe brought up' is the wordplay.
'large' becomes 'L' (eg in clothes sizes).
'porter maybe' becomes 'ale' (type of alcoholic drink).
'brought up' shows that the letters should be reversed in order (in a down clue, letters go up).
'l'+'ale'='lale'
'lale' reversed gives 'EL AL'.
'for' acts as a link.
(Another definition for el al that I've seen is " Israeli airline".)
I've seen this clue in The Times.
