This broadcast celebrates the fortieth anniversary of the national company Tunis Air (1948-1988). Hatem El Mekki's illustration shows a modern airliner taking off in front of a stylized globe, on which the silhouette of Tunisia can be seen. The massive number “40” in the background and the company logo (the winged gazelle) underline the success and sustainability of the national carrier. This stamp carries a message of pride and air sovereignty, recalling the crucial role of Tunis Air as a bridge between Tunisia and the rest of the world.
