BRUSSELS: TUI fly (Belgium) confirmed that it will resume regular commercial flights to Tunisia later this month.
According to scheduled data, the Belgian leisure specialist will start a 2x weekly Brussels National-Enfidha return service using a combination of EMB-190, A320 (leased from SmartLynx Airlines (6Y, Riga)), and B737NextGen equipment effective March 31. Thereafter, a 2x weekly Brussels Charleroi-Tunis route will commence on June 23 using B737-800 jets.
TUI fly spokesman, Florence Bruyere, said in a statement the decision to proceed with the relaunch came after the Belgian Ministry of Foreign Affairs relaxed a travel advisory concerning visits to Tunisia.
Flights to Tunisia were cancelled in June 2015 after a gunman, Seifeddine Rezgui, shot dead thirty-eight people at the Riu Imperial Marhaba Hotel in Port El Kantaoui, about 10 kilometres north of the city of Sousse, Tunisia.
