AIP referenceDTTA — AIP Tunisia (OACA)
Operating hoursH24 — no curfew; round-the-clock hub operations for Tunisair/Tunisair Express/Nouvelair
TerminalsMain Terminal (1972, expanded 1997, ~4.4M pax nominal capacity) plus Terminal II charter hall (opened 2006, ~0.5M pax capacity); combined nominal capacity of ~4.9M is well below actual CY2025 traffic, causing peak-season congestion
Runways (2)
- 01/19 · 3,200 m / 10,499 ft · 45 m wide · Asphalt · ILS ILS CAT I
- 11/29 · 2,840 m / 9,318 ft · 45 m wide · Asphalt · ILS None
Airport contact
Tunisia's primary international gateway and Tunisair Group's principal hub, 8 km northeast of central Tunis; CY2025 traffic of 7.42M passengers (confirmed) already runs well past the airport's ~4.9M nominal terminal capacity, so planners should expect significant peak-summer (Jun-Aug) congestion, especially around the older Terminal II charter/leisure hall. Runway ILS category (CAT I on 01/19) could not be independently confirmed against AIP Tunisia — plausible and uncontradicted but unverified.
