| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Djerba Zarzis International Airport | DJE | 96 km (60 mi) | 10,171 ft | 19 ft |
| Sfax Thyna International Airport (regional) | SFA | 7 km (4 mi) | 9,843 ft | 85 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 10,171 ft, DJE can take the largest long-haul aircraft, so direct intercontinental flights are physically possible here. The airport sits at 19 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
