Private jet charter in Tunisia

A jet that leaves Biggin Hill after an early coffee touches down in Tunis in under three hours. That short sector explains much of the appeal: the country offers a capital with Punic and Roman layers under it, a resort coast with two airports of its own, an island on its own runway and, a short hop to the south, the edge of the Sahara. Our customers have access to 6,500 jets of all types and configurations available for rent. We will help you choose the best option based on your needs and objectives. Our catalog contains the models from the largest manufacturers: Gulfstream, Dassault, Embraer, Airbus, Boeing, Bombardier, Learjet, Cessna, Beechcraft, Pilatus, HondaJet, etc. We have established partnerships with the world's largest airlines and VIP terminals, which means we can offer you favourable flight conditions and a high level of service. Our experts will manage the organization of your flight - starting with paperwork, agreements, etc., and ending with a transfer and meeting at the airport. Our company provides a full range of business aviation and concierge services. For Tunisia that means a landing permit requested from the Tunisian civil aviation authority, a handler booked at the right airport, and a straight answer on which of the six usable fields saves you the longest drive.

 

 

At your request, the aviation consultants of Private Jets UK will help you choose the jet with the suitable technical parameters (production year, flight hours, and home base). The cost of the private jet charter in Tunisia depends on many factors, such as the model of the business jet, the number of passengers, departure and destination airports, type of flight, duration of parking, additional services, etc. Therefore, we calculate the price of each order individually taking into account your wishes. You can use an online calculator to get an instant charter quote. Please indicate your real contact details to get the final calculation.

You can calculate the cost of your flight in several ways:

• using an online calculator on the website (however, it shows only the approximate price);
• via Messenger (WhatsApp or Telegram);
• by landline or cell phone;
• via e-mail (jets@private-jets.co.uk).

 

 

Please note that the above-mentioned price is indicative only. It is calculated on this basis: a departure from Biggin Hill, an Embraer Phenom 300E flying nonstop to Tunis-Carthage and two passengers aboard. If you want to get a personal quote, just fill out the online booking form below. Our aviation consultant will make the calculation within 20 minutes, and then contact you to specify the details of the flight.

 

How long does it take to fly to Tunisia?

Tunisia stays on Central European Time all year and does not move its clocks in summer. It is therefore an hour ahead of Britain in winter and on the same time as Britain from the end of March to the end of October. A departure at nine in the morning from the south-east lands in Tunis at about a quarter to one local time in winter, and at about a quarter to twelve in summer. These are the sectors to Tunis-Carthage on a Phenom 300E, gate to gate, from the fields our clients use most:

Tunis is the shortest run, and the rest of the country is only a little further. The same aircraft, flying from Biggin Hill, reaches each of the other gateways in these times:

The exact flight time depends on the model of the business jet, as well as the speed of the tail or head wind. Our consultant will make a detailed calculation of the flight time for the chosen business jet.

Private jet flights within Tunisia and to its neighbours

Most Tunisian itineraries are a loop: a jet from London to Tunis, a few days in the capital, a hop down the coast or to the south, and home from a different field. The sectors below start at Tunis, the natural hub, and include three European airports for the way on or back:

Business aviation airports in Tunisia

Tunisia has six airports that matter to a private traveller, and one clear gateway. The useful question is which of the six is closest to the place you are actually going:

 

Tunis-Carthage does most of the work. A spokesman for the airport once put business aviation at about 15 per cent of its movements, close to 10,000 flights in a year, and handling was described at the time as concentrated in very few companies: Tunisair Handling and Nouvelair Handling are the names that appear in the reports. Carthage SKY Services, a Tunis company that supervises ground handling for private and charter flights, also arranges permits, catering and executive lounge facilities, the kind of local agent a broker uses for permits and catering. The drive from the apron to the centre takes about a quarter of an hour.

Enfidha-Hammamet has the longest runway of the six and stands about 40 km from the resorts it is named after, not in a town. It is a good field for a party that is going straight to Hammamet or the coast to its south and does not want to cross Tunis in a car. Monastir, on the Sahel coast, is the practical choice for Sousse, Port El Kantaoui and the old ports.

Djerba, Tozeur and Sfax each do one job. Djerba is the island, with a handler that is listed as open round the clock. Tozeur is the oasis and desert airport, with a long runway for light traffic. Sfax is the airport of the Gulf of Gabes coast. Three small fields, Tabarka-Ain Draham, Gabes and Gafsa, also appear on the lists of Tunisian airports. We rarely quote them, and never without separate written confirmation of runway, fuel and handling.

Five points settle most Tunisian arrivals before a quote goes out:

 

Arriving from Britain: passports, customs and what to carry

Tunisia is outside the European Union and the Schengen area, but British visitors do not need a visa for a tourist stay. These are the points that decide whether the passengers pass through in minutes or are held at the desk:

Coming home is a flight into Britain. A General Aviation Report goes to the border authorities not earlier than 48 hours and not later than two hours before departure, British and Irish citizens need no electronic travel authorisation, and most other nationalities do.

 

 

Which airport for which part of Tunisia

The country is small enough that the airports overlap, and what matters is the length of the car journey at the other end:

 

Tunis, the coast and the Sahara: what our clients go for

The capital is the first reason. Tunis is where the ministries, the embassies and the head offices are, and a delegation that lands at Tunis-Carthage is a quarter of an hour from the centre. The Medina of Tunis is on the World Heritage list, and Carthage and the village of Sidi Bou Said are only a short way along the coast.

The resorts are the second. Hammamet sits on the northern edge of the Gulf of Hammamet, Sousse has a walled medina on the World Heritage list, and Monastir and Port El Kantaoui are resort towns. Families who want a week on a beach with a short flight at either end are a large part of this traffic, and the choice between Enfidha and Monastir usually comes down to the address of the hotel.

History is the third: Tunisia has ten World Heritage sites, among them Carthage, the Roman amphitheatre of El Jem, the holy city of Kairouan, the Roman town of Dougga, the Punic town of Kerkuane and the Ichkeul National Park. Several of them are within a day's drive of Monastir or Enfidha, which is often the reason for picking one of those airports rather than Tunis.

The south is the fourth. Djerba combines beaches with a spring pilgrimage to the El Ghriba synagogue, and Tozeur is the base for the oases, the salt lake of Chott el Djerid and the Star Wars set that still stands outside the town.

 

The Tunisian year: a mild winter, a hot summer and a hotter south

Tunisia has a Mediterranean north, a semi-arid centre and a desert in the south, and the difference between them is bigger than the distance suggests:

 

The Tunisian calendar: festivals, the desert season and Ramadan

The events that move private traffic are few, and the Ramadan dates shift through the year, so they are checked before a trip is planned around them:

 

 

Flying to Tunisia with a dog or a cat

The cabin is not the problem: the animal sits beside you for the three hours and nothing goes into the hold. The paperwork is the problem. Tunisia is not a country that Britain lists for pet travel, so an animal coming home needs a rabies blood test planned months before the flight.

• A microchip, fitted before the rabies vaccination, as the return to Britain requires;
• A rabies vaccination at least 21 days before the return to Britain, and inside the Tunisian window for the outward trip;
• The Tunisian health certificate, completed shortly before departure, with the vaccination record attached;
• For the return, a rabies blood test, because Tunisia is not listed, and a Great Britain pet health certificate; GOV.UK counts three months from the date of the blood sample before an animal from a non-listed country may travel to Britain;
• For dogs only, a tapeworm treatment from a vet between 24 and 120 hours before arrival in Britain. A cat needs no treatment.

An approved travel route for the return is the last item. GOV.UK tells owners to check it, and its guidance does not say how the rule applies to a private aircraft, so we confirm the entry point and the paperwork for the animal in writing before the flight. An animal that does not meet the rules can be placed in quarantine for up to four months at the owner's expense.

A dog's tapeworm window for the flight home is 24 to 120 hours, so the treatment is booked with a vet in Tunisia near the end of the stay. Pit bulls, Rottweilers, Tosas and mastiff-type dogs are among the breeds that Tunisia is reported to ban. Requirements for ferrets, birds and anything less usual are collected on our flying with pets guide.

 

 

Empty Legs

An empty leg is a repositioning flight with nobody aboard, offered at a fraction of the usual price. Tunisia produces them because so many trips are one-way by nature: a family flies out for a week on the coast, a team flies in for a meeting, and the aircraft comes home or moves on.

A client who can offer a few days has a far better chance of a match, though the operator owns the date and a leg can disappear when the original booking changes. Whatever is free is listed on our empty legs page. Typical Tunisian empty legs:

 

 

 

Helicopter charter

In Tunisia a helicopter is a tool for the last stretch, not an airport shuttle: a resort or a villa without a runway nearby, a coast that is long by car, a day in the south. The times below are straight-line estimates, and a helicopter is never quoted until the operator and the landing sites are confirmed:

Helicopters in Tunisia are arranged case by case: the machine comes from a specialist operator and is priced separately. We book the helicopter alongside the jet, so the whole itinerary is quoted as one, and the operator confirms the route for your date.

 

 

Flights from the UK to Tunisia

Biggin Hill, Farnborough, Luton and Stansted send most of the traffic on this corridor, with Southampton, Bristol, Birmingham and Manchester behind them and Scotland and Northern Ireland at the long end; the price table higher up covers thirteen of those pairings. Our clients have access to all airports of the UK and Europe. Due to the unique partnership conditions, we can offer our clients the best prices for business aviation services. Our experts will consult you on the availability of private jets in a particular city and help you choose the best option.
