Airline information
Tunisian Airlines is an African carrier that organizes charter flights from major European cities to popular resort destinations in Tunisia. Despite the narrow specialization of the company, the air carrier was able to become the second largest passenger traffic in the country. The airline is famous for its high level of service and safety.
The company was founded in 1989 as a subsidiary of the French company AirLiberte. Initially, the aircraft fleet had only two units of MD-83 type aircraft, and the geography of flights was limited to several international flights. The active phase of development began in 1995 after the purchase of a part of the Travel Group shares. Within 4 years, Tunisian Airlines was able to purchase its own Airbus A-320 airliner. By 2000, the company had transported more than 1,000,000 people. Gradually, the old MD-83s were replaced by Airbuses, and the enterprise becamefunction as an independent organization.
Now Nouvelair relies on the high level of air travel safety and the technical condition of aircraft. Cleaning of airliners is also given special attention. For its efforts, the company has repeatedly been awarded certificates from many well-known organizations in the field of civil aviation.
The air fleet has over 10 Airbus A-320 and A-321 aircraft, designed to carry 180 and 215 people, respectively. Moreover, their average age is about 12 years old.
