Sfax Thyna International Airport (IATA: SFA, ICAO: DTTX) is a regional international airport serving the city of Sfax, Tunisia's second-largest city and a major industrial and commercial hub. The airport is located approximately 7 kilometres southwest of the Sfax city centre, near the Thyna district from which it takes part of its name. The airport handles a mix of domestic and international traffic, primarily connecting Sfax to European destinations popular with the Tunisian diaspora, as well as flights within Tunisia. It serves as an important gateway for the surrounding Sfax Governorate, which is a significant centre for olive oil production, fishing, and manufacturing. While smaller than Tunisia's main international airports in Tunis and Monastir, Sfax Thyna plays a meaningful role in supporting regional connectivity and the economic activity of southern Tunisia.
