Tunisia to Resume Direct Flights from Iceland to Enfidha in May 2027

One flight every 10 days starting May 21, as a partnership between a Tunisian travel agency and an Icelandic tour operator aims to boost tourism in Hammamet and Sousse.

The Tunisian Federation of Travel Agencies has announced plans to resume direct tourist flights between Iceland and Tunisia from May 21, 2027, operating one flight every ten days.

The initiative aims to diversify Tunisia's inbound tourism markets and strengthen the country's presence in Northern Europe.

According to the announcement issued on November 9, 2026, the flights will connect Iceland's capital, Reykjavik, with Enfidha–Hammamet International Airport, which serves several of Tunisia's leading coastal destinations, particularly Hammamet and Sousse.

The federation explained that the initiative was developed by one of its member travel agencies in cooperation with an Icelandic tour operator, with the aim of creating tourism programmes and attracting visitors from a relatively emerging European source market for Tunisia.

The programme represents the resumption of direct tourist flights previously operated between the two countries during the 2025 season, rather than the introduction of their first-ever air connection. The announcement did not identify the operating airline, available seat capacity or ticket prices. Booking arrangements and the final date of the operating season have also not been disclosed.

The planned flights are intended to support tourism activity in Hammamet, Sousse and surrounding areas served by Enfidha Airport. They could also encourage the development of travel packages combining beach holidays with cultural and leisure experiences.

The initiative forms part of wider efforts by Tunisian tourism professionals to diversify European source markets and reduce reliance on traditional visitor markets.

Direct air connectivity could create additional opportunities for hotels, travel agencies and tourism transport providers along Tunisia's coast, particularly ahead of the peak summer season. However, the programme's impact on visitor numbers and tourism revenue will depend on available seat capacity, the number of flights actually operated, booking demand and occupancy levels.

For now, the initiative remains an announced tourism programme that has not yet commenced operations, pending final details from the organisers and operating airline.
