AIP referenceDTTJ — AIP Tunisia (OACA)
Operating hoursH24 (Tower/APP/ATIS published in AIP Tunisia — commonly cited as 118.150/120.300/124.525, not independently re-confirmed against a live eAIP chart; no general curfew found; charter schedule includes early-morning and late-night European arrivals)
TerminalsSingle passenger terminal complex (~73,000 sqm total; a newer building added 57,000 sqm across three levels, inaugurated 22 Dec 2007) with a published design capacity of about 4M pax/yr (OACA/djerbaairport.net state capacity as 'more than 4 million passengers per year' — not 4.5M as an earlier draft had it)
Runways (1)

Airport contact
One of Tunisia's busiest airports (with Tunis-Carthage, Monastir and Enfidha-Hammamet forming the top tier) and the main European charter/leisure gateway to Djerba island. OACA/press reporting (webmanagercenter.com, Mar 2026) puts 2025 traffic at 'more than 2.3 million passengers' via 16,777 flights, up 6.5% y/y; the 2,347,000 annual figure here is a computed estimate (confirmed 2024 base of 2,203,957 x the confirmed +6.5% growth rate) since OACA has not published an exact 2025 digit found — treat as approximate, not an exact published count. Directly OACA-operated — not part of the TAV Tunisie concession that runs Monastir and Enfidha-Hammamet. Single runway 09/27 (3,100m) has ILS only on the 09 approach; low-visibility arrivals from the 27 direction rely on VOR/DME.
