About Tunisair
Tunisair is the flag carrier of Tunisia, majority owned by the Tunisian state, with its hub at Tunis-Carthage International Airport. Its core business is linking Tunisia with Europe, above all France, Italy and Germany, where there are large Tunisian communities and steady holiday traffic to resorts such as Djerba and Monastir. It also flies to other North African countries, the Middle East, West Africa and Canada. A sister company, Tunisair Express, handles domestic and short regional routes. Tunisair does not belong to any of the three global alliances. Flights are sold in business and economy class.
Tunisair is not the only way to reach Tunisia, so a search on IATA.co lets you compare it with European and Gulf carriers on the same dates. Tunisair fares appear in your search results whenever our flight suppliers offer them for your route and dates. The search is live in the booking portal and the flights API, and bookings are paid from your prepaid balance. Fare conditions are displayed before you confirm.
Tunisair airline codes explained
Tunisair uses the two-letter IATA airline code TU and the three-letter ICAO code TAR. The IATA code TU is the one shown on tickets, fare displays and booking screens, while the ICAO code TAR is used in air traffic control and flight planning.
Tunisair is a full-service carrier, based in Tunisia, operating mainly from Tunis (TUN). It is not part of a global airline alliance.
Booking Tunisair fares as a travel agent
Travel agents book Tunisair fares on IATA.co without their own IATA accreditation. Activate an agency account, top up a prepaid balance, then search live TU fares in the booking portal: the price, baggage and fare rules are shown with each offer before you confirm, and the amount is deducted from your balance. Tunisair results appear whenever our flight suppliers return them for your route and dates, so what you can book follows live supplier content rather than a direct airline deal.
Search Tunisair (TU) through the flights API
Developers and agencies can run the same Tunisair search from their own site, app or back office through the IATA.co flights API. Filter a search by the carrier code TU and read the fares back as JSON, then book from the same prepaid balance. See the flights API and the API docs for the full reference.
