Tunis-Carthage Airport serves as the primary international gateway to Tunisia and a critical node for North African civil aviation. Situated approximately eight kilometres from the capital, it functions as a central hub for flag carrier operations and regional connectivity. The facility provides the essential infrastructure for scheduled commercial flights, air cargo logistics, and aircraft ground handling services within the Mediterranean basin. The airport is the main operational base for Tunisair and its subsidiary Tunisair Express, supporting a fleet that includes Airbus A320 series and ATR turboprop aircraft. It also facilitates operations for Nouvelair and various international carriers connecting Tunisia to major hubs in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. Ground services and terminal management are overseen by the Office de l'Aviation Civile et des Aéroports (OACA). Organisations seeking to engage should verify the current status of airport expansion projects and specific airside safety certifications. Prospective partners should assess existing bilateral aviation agreements between Tunisia and their respective jurisdictions. It is also necessary to confirm specific customs and handling regulations applicable to foreign logistics providers or technical service contractors operating within the terminal perimeter.
