Tunisair’s UK boss has confirmed the carrier is working on launching charter flights from a number of British airports to destinations throughout Tunisia in time for next summer.

Flights depart Stansted at 5.55pm and arrive in Tunis at 8.55pm

The UK Foreign Office amended its travel advice for Tunisia on July 26, no longer advising against travel to most of the country. It enables holidaymakers to return to areas including tourist resorts such as Sousse, where 30 British holidaymakers were killed in a terror attack in 2015.


Tunisair is currently the only carrier flying direct from the UK to the North African country.


Zakaria Fathallah, director for UK & Ireland, told TTG there was “a big probability” more flights could begin “from April or May 2018 from Gatwick and other regional UK airports to any Tunisia airport”.
