Djerba Zarzis International Airport is located near the village of Mellita on the island of Djerba, off the southeastern coast of Tunisia. It serves as the primary entry point for tourists visiting Djerba, one of Tunisia's most popular holiday destinations, as well as the nearby mainland resort area of Zarzis. The airport handles a significant volume of charter and scheduled international traffic, particularly from Europe, during the peak summer tourist season. It is one of Tunisia's busiest airports by passenger volume, alongside Tunis-Carthage International Airport. The airport has undergone infrastructure improvements over the years to cope with seasonal passenger surges, and it plays a vital economic role for the region's tourism-dependent economy.
