SEPANG: It was the most nerve-racking hour in Captain Hamdan Che Ismail’s (pic) 29-year career in the aviation industry as he navigated flight MH604 carrying the first batch of Covid-19 vaccines from Singapore to Malaysia.
Besides flying the plane, Hamdan needed to ensure that the correct temperature was maintained in the aircraft at all times so as not to affect the effectiveness of the vaccines, which must be stored at -70ºC.
