Tunisair to reorganise

In order to save the airline from collapsing and to return to profitability, Tunisair is set to reorganise the company. Apart from laying-off up to 1,000 co-workers, the airline will also reduce its fleet to seventeen aircraft, which is ten less than today.

Tunisair will standardise the fleet to fifteen A320s and two A330-200s. Of the A320s, five will be new A320neos, which the airline has on order with Airbus. The first of these is scheduled for delivery later this month, three will arrive next year and the fifth in 2024. The five will replace five older A320s in the fleet. As a result of the plan, the airline will say goodbye to its four A319s and seven B737-600s.
