History

[edit]
Tunis Airport in 1952.

The history of the airport dates back to 1920 when the firstseaplane base inTunisia was built on theLake of Tunis for the seaplanes of Compagnie Aéronavale.[6] The Tunis Airfield opened in 1938, serving around 5,800 passengers annually on the Paris-Tunis route.[7]

During World War II, the airport was used by theUnited States Air ForceTwelfth Air Force as a headquarters and command control base for theItalian Campaign of 1943. The following known units were assigned:[8]

Once the combat units moved to Italy,Air Transport Command used the airport as a major transshipment hub for cargo, transiting aircraft and personnel.[citation needed] It functioned as a stopover en route toAlgiers airport or toMellaha Field nearTripoli, Libya on the North AfricanCairo-Dakar transport route. Later, as the Allied forces advanced, it also flew personnel and cargo toNaples, Italy.[citation needed]

Construction on the Tunis-Carthage Airport, which was fully funded by France, began in 1944, and in 1948 the airport become the main hub forTunisair. The airline started operations withDouglas DC-3s flying from Tunis-Carthage Airport toMarseille,Ajaccio,Bastia,Algiers, Rome,Sfax,Djerba, andTripoli, Libya. The passenger traffic grew steadily from 1951 when 56,400 passengers were carried, 33,400 of them byAir France.[7] The airport offered a convenient stop-over point for several other French airlines over the years, includingAigle Azur with a stop in Tunis on the Paris-Brazzaville route, and TAI (Intercontinental Air Transport) with a stop in Tunis on its Paris-Saigon route. Among foreign companies, the TWA was present, whose lines Rome-New York and Rome-Bombay made stop in Tunis, and the LAI (Italian company) which made the connection Rome-Palermo-Tunis.[7]

In 1997, the airport terminal was expanded to 57,448 m2 (618,365 sq ft); it consists of two floors (departure and arrival) and has a capacity of 4,400,000 passengers per year.[citation needed] In 2005, the terminal was expanded another 5,500 m2 (59,202 sq ft), and now has a capacity of 500,000 more passengers annually. On 23 September 2006 a new terminal opened for charter flights.[citation needed]Syphax Airlines commenced a direct flight to Montreal in April 2014.[9]
