Tunisia Aviation and Aviation Service Market demonstrated steady growth before the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, attributed to the expanding tourism sector and government initiatives such as Vision Tunisia 2035 and the USAID Visit Tunisia Activity. In late 2019, the Ministry of Transport announced a plan for the extension of Tunis-Carthage Airport, aiming to increase its annual passenger capacity from 5 million to 8 million. With a budget of $809 million, the project includes constructing a new air control tower, new railway lines, and an expanded airport viaduct. An international tender for the project was launched in 2021.
However, in 2020, the market faced setbacks due to tourism halts caused by COVID-19 restrictions, with tourism revenue plunging by 65% compared to 2019, to around $746 million, and the number of visitors dropping by 78%. Nonetheless, the market sharply rebounded post-COVID-19 as tourism, military, and logistics operations resumed, initiating new airport and commercial projects. In 2023, tourism experienced a significant recovery, with 9.3 million visitors marking a 49.3% increase year-on-year further boosting the aviation market.
According to the research, Tunisia Aviation Market revenue is projected to grow at a CAGR of 6.1% during 2024-2030 and the Tunisia Aviation Service Market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 4.8% during 2024-2030. The surge in growth is mainly credited to initiatives like the introduction of direct flights between Tunisia and China in 2024 which is expected to double the number of Chinese tourists from 30,000 to over 60,000, significantly increasing air travel demands. Furthermore, the expansion of the hospitality industry, especially in major cities such as Tunis, Djerba and Hammamet is expected to propel growth in the tourism industry with the inauguration of new hotels, promoting growth in the aviation sector.
Tunisia's revised Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC) set ambitious emissions reduction targets, impacting the aviation sector due to its significant contribution to air pollution. The sector will face stricter regulations and increased compliance costs, necessitating substantial investments in cleaner technologies and sustainable practices to mitigate its environmental impact.
