(TAP) – The Tunis-Carthage International Airport has received the ACI Airport Health Accreditation awarded by the Airports Council International (ACI).

The accreditation is granted to airports which apply the proper international standards against the spread of the coronavirus.

The Office of Civil Aviation and Airports (OACA) which supervises Tunisian airports said in a press release Friday it is working to ensure that this accreditation will also be granted to the Djerba-Zarzis International Airport as soon as possible.

Countries pay special attention to the capacity of airports in receiving passengers through the application of health protocols during departures and arrivals so as to avoid the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The International Tunis-Carthage Airport receives 4.6 million passengers under normal conditions, says the OACA.
