Description
Issued for the same celebration, this 500 millime stamp illustrates technical progress and international openness. We see an airliner in the colors of the national company flying over a festive red ribbon and a wreath of flowers.

The plane represents the economic growth, the development of tourism and the connectivity of Tunisia with the rest of the world during the first forty years of the Republic. It is an image of dynamism which completes the institutional dimension of the series by showing the fruits of political stability on the development of the country.
