## Description

Within North Africa's logistics landscape, Tunis-Carthage (IATA: TUN, ICAO: DTTA) ranks among the region's busier airports and handles the bulk of Tunisia's international air trade. All ground handling is run by Tunisair Handling, a wholly owned arm of flag carrier Tunisair, whose freight division Tunisair Cargo holds the EU ACC3 and RA3 security accreditations alongside ISO 9001:2015 certification. The cargo terminal spans roughly 12,100 square metres and offers a bonded warehouse, a transit zone, refrigerated and deep-freeze storage, plus dedicated handling for dangerous goods, valuables, live animals with quarantine, and fumigation. Tunisia's own all-cargo operator, Express Air Cargo, is based here, serves more than 21 African countries out of Tunis and is adding further bonded warehousing on the airport to position TUN as a transfer point between Africa, Europe and the Middle East. Forwarders such as MOHAB Logistics, IATA-certified since 1994, run offices inside the freight zone for immediate customs clearance. A short road link via the MC33 and RN1 reaches the Port of Radès, Tunisia's main container gateway, about ten kilometres away, enabling air-sea combinations for high-value or urgent consignments. For freight professionals, TUN is the default entry and exit point for Tunisian trade, though its tonnages remain modest next to the major Mediterranean cargo airports. Sitting beside the Lake of Tunis, parts of the airfield rest on reclaimed land.
