Two runways, 08/26 and 11/29, a training squadron, a Northrop F-5 fighter unit and a transport squadron flying C-130 Hercules and Let L-410 aircraft: Sidi Ahmed near Bizerte is one of the Tunisian Air Force's four principal bases, not a commercial airport. It lies about nine kilometres west-south-west of Bizerte in northern Tunisia and carries no IATA code, no scheduled passenger or freight services, and no public cargo terminal, bonded warehouse or handling agent. Civil air cargo simply cannot be tendered here. Shippers serving the Bizerte area route air freight through Tunis-Carthage (TUN), roughly 60 km to the south-east and Tunisia's principal air cargo gateway. For general cargo and containers, the nearby Port of Bizerte with its western Mediterranean services is usually the more practical answer. The setting near the northernmost point of Africa underlines the region's maritime rather than air-freight character.
