Tunis-Carthage International Airport (Arabic: مطار تونس قرطاج الدولي) (IATA: TUN, ICAO: DTTA) is the international airport serving Tunis, Tunisia.

It is the base of operations for Tunisair, Nouvelair Tunisia, Tuninter and Tunisavia.

On May 7, 2002, an EgyptAir Boeing 737 attempting to land from Cairo crashed 4 miles from the airport, killing 14 of the 62 people on board.

The airport is named for the historic city of Carthage, located just north of the airport.

In 2004, the airport served approximately 3.4 million passengers.

All ground handling is provided by Tunisair Handling. Tunisair Handling is 100% subsidiary of Tunisair and at the moment has a monopoly (the situation could change in the future although at the moment it is highly unlikely). All security services are provided by the Police and the Customs.
