ATCL Country Representative in Uganda Lugendo Khalfan has confirmed that when unloading 49 tones of pharmaceuticals and vaccines from Mumbai on 23rd January 2024 which were delivered by B767-300F.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFrom the loading destination of origin to Entebbe, we have handled this cargo as required to ensure pharmaceuticals products are delivered safely and securely. With the modern facilities in this aircraft, Air Tanzania is ready to boost the Ugandan economy through handling large volumes of cargo driven by demand\u201d, said Khalfan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
