Airport Overview
The international airport of Enfidha - Hamammet (Arabic: مطار النفيضة الدولي) is a Tunisian airport which serves Enfida and more generally the north of the Tunisian Sahel, including Kairouan and Sousse, and the south of Cape Bon. Extending over an area of 4,300 hectares, it is supposed to decongest the airports of Tunis and Monastir.
In March 2007, the tender for the construction of the airport was won by the Turkish consortium TAV Airports Holding, which was to build the airport and operate it jointly with Monastir international airport for forty years (up to in May 2007) against an initial investment of around 500 million euros and the payment of an annuity. With an initial capacity of 7,000,000 passengers per year, the terminal covers 90,000 m2. Ultimately, its capacity will be increased to 22,000,000 passengers with a second terminal by 2020-20222.
The site was officially launched on July 24, 2003. On this occasion, it was announced that the airport would bear the name of President Zine El-Abidine Ben Ali; this name was withdrawn following the 2011 revolution which overthrew the president5 to take the name of the seaside resort of Hammamet6. However, the airport continues to operate for the duration of the social movements.
In January 2015, the postal company UPS started its regular cargo flights between the airport and that of Cologne. Then, in October of the same year, the company Express Air Cargo announced its launch: it provides flights to 51 African countries from the airport.
The new airport is located near two of the most important tourist areas of the country, namely those of Sousse and Hamammet and also close to the capital (barely 75 km). The airport will be the main gateway to the regions of Hamammet, Nabeul and Sousse, which attract many tourists.
