Tabarka–Aïn Draham International Airport ( French: Aéroport international de Tabarka–Aïn Draham, Tunisian Arabic: مطار طبرقة-عين دراهم الدولي) ( IATA: TBJ, ICAO: DTKA), formerly Tabarka–7 November International Airport, is a public sector airport serving Tabarka in Tunisia. [3]
Tabarka Airport was built in 1992 to serve the northwest region of Tunisia. [4] Its original name emanated from the November 7, 1987 coup d'etat that ousted Habib Bourguiba, the first President of Tunisia, which was orchestrated by then- Prime Minister Zine el Abidine Ben Ali, who replaced Bourguiba; however, the airport was renamed following the 2011 Revolution that ousted and exiled Ben Ali. [5]
The airport facilitates tourism in the region. [4] However, due to a decline in tourism after the Revolution, the airport experienced a drop in traffic. In 2010, 63,000 passengers transited through Tabarka Airport; in 2011, it received less than 18,000 passengers. [6] On 15 November 2013, rumours of the closure of the airport led to protests by its employees. [4] [7]
Tabarka Airport is currently served by Tunisair Express flights to Tunis. During the Hajj season, Tunisair operates charter flights to Medina. [8] [9]
