Location
Sfax, Tunisia
Sfax Thyna International Airport (IATA: SFA, ICAO: DTTX) serves Sfax, Tunisia's second-largest city and a major economic hub on the country's central Mediterranean coast. The airport handles both domestic and international traffic, connecting the region to destinations across North Africa and Europe. The facility is relatively modest in scale compared to Tunis-Carthage International Airport, but it plays an important role in supporting Sfax's significant commercial, phosphate-processing, and industrial sectors. Scheduled and charter services link the city to key European markets, particularly France and Italy, reflecting the Tunisian diaspora communities in those countries. Sfax Thyna is managed under the authority of the Office de l'Aviation Civile et des Aéroports (OACA), which oversees civil aviation infrastructure throughout Tunisia.
Terminals
The airport operates a single passenger terminal handling both domestic and international arrivals and departures.
Getting to & from
Ground transport from the airport into central Sfax is primarily served by taxis and private vehicles, as no dedicated rail or bus rapid transit link exists.
