Key Points on Tunisia Better Connected with Europe:
- Record Capacity: 3.54 million departing seats is the highest number ever recorded for Tunisia.
- Strong Growth: 14.6% increase as compared to last year.
- Resilient Recovery: Bouncing back from the global pandemic.
Delays in the expected EU open skies agreement have hampered progress, which would stimulate tourism and VFR (Visiting Friends and Relatives) traffic, but there has been substantial growth driven by Nouvelair – Tunisia’s leisure operator.
Notable Developments
The return of European flights to Tozeur is marked by Transavia France’s new route from Paris Orly which starts on October 30, the same month that Tunisair ceased operations there in 2020. With this development, six Tunisian airports now have direct European routes – Djerba, Enfidha, Monastir, Sfax, Tozeur and Tunis.
These moves underscore Tunisia’s commitment to growing its tourism and aviation sectors – a sure sign of exciting times ahead for both travellers and the national economy.
