## Description

Few airports sit so close to valuable freight yet move so little of it by air: GAF serves Tunisia's phosphate belt, but the ore itself never boards a plane. The field mainly shuttles personnel and equipment for the Gafsa Phosphate Company across the western mining zone, with only sporadic domestic links to Tunis in 2026. Its 2,900-metre runway can take larger aircraft, though scheduled passenger service is effectively dormant. Mined rock phosphate leaves overland by rail to the ports of Sfax, Gabès and Skhira, so dedicated air cargo plays no role here. Forwarders needing airfreight route through Tunis-Carthage (TUN) to the north, where customs clearance and handling are concentrated.
