Monastir Habib Bourguiba International Airport (French: Aéroport International de Monastir–Habib Bourguiba, AIMHB, Arabic: مطار الحبيب بورقيبة الدولي) (IATA: MIR, ICAO: DTMB) is an airport serving Monastir and Sousse areas in Tunisia.[3] The Tunisian Civil Aviation and Airports Authority (OACA) awarded the management of the airport to TAV Airports Holding in March 2007.[4] The airport is named after former president Habib Bourguiba (1903–2000), who was born in Monastir.

History

[edit]

During World War II, the airport was known as Monastir Airfield and was used by the United States Army Air Forces Twelfth Air Force 81st Fighter Group during the North African Campaign. The 81st flew P-39 Airacobras from the airfield between 26 May and 10 August 1943.

Overview

[edit]

Monastir Airport first began operating in 1968 under the control of the Office of Civil Aviation and Airports. TAV Airport Holdings submitted its offer to the Tunisian Ministry of Transport, in January 2007 and was announced as the winning bid in May 2007, to operate the airport.[5] The rights were given from 2008 and expire in May 2047

The airport activity mainly serves tourists coming to visit Monastir, Sousse and the surrounding resorts (Monastir-Skanes and Port El Kantaoui in particular). Almost all charter flights are concentrated within the tourist season. The main airlines operating currently at the airport are Nouvelair and Tunisair. With a capacity of 3.5 million passengers per year[5], the terminal covers 28,000 m2. The airport led the country in terms of traffic with 4,279,802 passengers in 2007.

In 2019 Monastir airport recorded 1.586 million passengers. In 2021 (post Covid), the airport recorded 0.42 million. For 2022 and 2023 passenger numbers increased to 1.01 million and 1.5 million passengers, respectively. In 2024, the number of passengers continue its increase to reach 1.6 million.[5]
