Nouvelair: How to Book Charter Flights Between Europe and Tunisia's Beaches
Nouvelair is a private Tunisian airline founded in 1989, controlled by the Mabrouk group, with bases in Monastir and Djerba, the two main gateways to Tunisian beach tourism. Its positioning is that of a leisure and charter carrier, designed more to bring European tourists to the Tunisian coasts than to offer a low-cost-style point-to-point network.
The fleet
The fleet is made up almost entirely of Airbus A320 aircraft, with recent deliveries of A320neo jets in the first months of 2025 gradually replacing the older aircraft, in line with the need to keep fuel consumption down on the highest-frequency charter routes to Europe.
Routes and network
Most of the operation links Tunis, Monastir and Djerba with France, Belgium, Germany and Italy. The 2025 season saw marked expansion in the French market, with Paris-Charles de Gaulle rising to 21 weekly flights, as well as increases to Nice, Brussels and Istanbul; a weekly Monastir-Helsinki charter flight was also scheduled for winter 2025, a sign of growing interest in Northern European markets as well.
Fares and baggage
Since it is largely a charter carrier, many tickets are sold bundled with a package from the tour operator, and baggage conditions tend to be more generous than those of a pure low-cost airline; for flights bought directly from the website, it is still worth checking the specific fare conditions, which may differ from those of the package charter.
Nouvelair suits those booking a seaside vacation in Tunisia through a travel package or looking for a seasonal direct flight to Monastir or Djerba from Europe. It is a less suitable choice for anyone who needs a flexible link available all year round, since many charter routes follow a pronounced seasonality tied to beach tourism. If the ticket is bought as part of a vacation package, always check the flight's change conditions separately from those of the hotel, because they may follow different rules.
