PACTEC International multiplies the effectiveness of other humanitarian organizations and government agencies by overcoming communications and transportation barriers. They support the NGOs with additional aircraft / transport capacity. In Afghanistan, roads and communications systems are slowly being rebuilt. However, with constant threats to security, land travel is not only onerous and difficult, but can delay or hinder the work of humanitarian volunteers. So aircraft like this Beech are used for logistical flights.

Delivered as a C-12R to OSACOM in late 1995. Converted to C-12R+, most probably by January 2007, then converted to C-12V by late 2008. All these updates are mostly integrated avionics system upgrades, like glass cockpit and global air-traffic management things.

This An-32A was delivered to the Afghan Air Force on 23 November 1991, first assigned to the transport unit at Kabul within the Afghan Air Force.

Moved to new homebase Kandahar in 2008, but returned to Kabul in that same year. Withdrawn from use in June 2011. Stored at Kabul, reported at active again in late 2022. Current fate?
