Tunisia's Transport Minister Rachid Amri said the long-standing idea of relocating Tunis-Carthage International Airport to a new site remains relevant as part of medium- and long-term state planning, even as the government presses ahead with a major expansion of the existing facility.
In a Jan. 28 interview with local radio station Mosaïque FM, Amri confirmed that preparatory work continues for the extension project at Tunis-Carthage, the country's main international gateway. He said construction is expected to start soon, aiming to boost annual passenger capacity to between 15 million and 18 million from the current roughly 7-8 million.
