Tunisair Seeks Buyers for Retired Fleet

The article discusses Tunisair's plan to sell its retired fleet, with the airline announcing an extension of the international tender submission deadline to November 5, 2026, in order to manage the process of selling old aircraft and their related products. This reflects the issue of the accumulation of unoccupied aircraft at the airport, including models such as Boeing 737, Airbus A320, and the presidential aircraft, which pose technical and financial challenges. These challenges involve regular maintenance requirements to preserve safety and market value. President Kais Saied emphasized the importance of safeguarding the national enterprise and Tunis Carthage Airport, despite pressures to privatize assets. He highlighted the necessity of stopping the financial losses caused by the deteriorating fleet and the costs of wear and tear and maintenance, alongside launching a financial rescue plan that includes issuing bonds and securing loans. Currently, the active fleet is limited to 10 aircraft, with a target to increase this number to 21 by the end of 2026. Estimates suggest that the backlog of irreparable aircraft may range between 12 and 17 planes, while the fleet management faces significant technical and financial challenges.
