Tunis-Carthage, Tunisia's largest airport, lies about halfway between the capital Tunis (7 km) and the ruins of the ancient city of Carthage (14 km). It serves as the main gateway to the country for scheduled flights mainly from Western and Southern Europe and the countries of the Arab world.

Tunis Airport serves mainly scheduled flights and has the highest traffic of all Tunisian airports.

Tunisair and Nouvelair airlines have their main base at Tunis-Carthage Airport. However, the cheapest flights from European destinations to Tunis can often be found at lufthansa.com, airfrance.com or transavia.com.

Charter flights for summer holidays to Tunisia go mainly to Enfidha NBE, Monastir MIR or Djerba DJE airports.
