Flights to Kairouan
Which airport to land at, how far each is from the centre, and where the routes go. Live fares are booked here.
Kairouan is served by 2 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Enfidha - Hammamet International Airport (NBE), 54 km (34 mi) from the centre, whose 10,827-ft runway is long enough for long-haul wide-body aircraft. The alternatives are Monastir Habib Bourguiba International Airport (MIR, 60 km).
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Enfidha - Hammamet International Airport (regional) | NBE | 54 km (34 mi) | 10,827 ft | 21 ft |
| Monastir Habib Bourguiba International Airport (regional) | MIR | 60 km (37 mi) | 9,678 ft | 9 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 10,827 ft, NBE can take the largest long-haul aircraft, so direct intercontinental flights are physically possible here. The airport sits at 21 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
