Tunisia plans $1bn expansion of Tunis-Carthage airport to 18.5m capacity by 2031
Tunisia plans to expand Tunis-Carthage International Airport at an estimated cost of about 3 billion dinars ($1 billion), aiming to lift annual capacity from around 5 million to 18.5 million passengers by 2031, the Transport Ministry said on Sunday.
The project has been included in the Civil Aviation and Airports Authority’s 2026 investment budget and replaces, for now, earlier plans to build a new airport. The upgrade is intended to modernise air transport infrastructure, ease congestion and strengthen connectivity, supporting tourism growth and wider market access in North Africa.
