The meeting was devoted to the preparations for the summer tourist season, particularly as regards the development of air transport and the situation of the various airports.

The Minister of Transport underlined on this occasion the full availability of the Ministry to revitalise the Tunisian airports according to their specificities and the capacities available to improve their services.

He also called for the fight against all phenomena that harm the image of Tunisia, as well as the various means of air transport, through the programmes that have been set up for this purpose, and the strengthening of control mechanisms in cooperation with the various parties.
