Tunisia Trip: Tunisair Publishes List of Canceled Flights

The Tunisian airline Tunisair seems to be going through a very rough patch. On Friday, July 1st, the airline announced disruptions to its flights over the weekend. Passengers found themselves stranded in several foreign airports.

Citing delays in the maintenance of part of its aircraft fleet due to a shortage of spare parts and the air traffic situation at certain foreign airports, Tunisair was forced to cancel or postpone several flights.

Last week, before the announcement of this weekend’s disruptions, several passengers had already been stranded in French airports, including Nice. Passengers have been regularly sharing highly critical testimonies about the airline.
