I don't see it happening. Not enough demand, and most of all, security level quite low in some areas. Not to forget that Tunisia doesn't have a premium hotel industry (they mainly target low budget european tourists). For example, Morocco is a much more suitable country, and already sustains many No...

Hello, Maybe it's a silly question and has been discussed before, but I always wondered how the center of gravity is balanced on single aisle A/C with 5 seats abreast (such as B717 or A220). My question is primarily focused on the longitudinal axis since one side of the aircraft is having approx 20%...
