Tunisair Express and ATR Expand Training Partnership

Tunisair Express has signed a new two-year training agreement with ATR, ensuring continued access to ATR’s comprehensive training solutions that support pilot expertise and operational efficiency. This agreement demonstrates Tunisair Express’ trust in the manufacturer’s expertise and commitment to delivering structured, effective training services. 

This local airline has been serving Tunisia’s domestic and regional markets since 1991. Operating primarily from Tunis-Carthage Airport, Tunisair Express plays a crucial role in connecting key destinations within Tunisia, as well as select international routes to Malta and Italy. With a fleet of two ATR 72 aircraft, the airline ensures reliable air links that support economic activity, tourism, and essential transportation needs in the country and across the region. 

The agreement covers essential pilot training programmes such as initial and recurrent training, captain upgrade, and flight simulator services. Tunisair Express already started to work closely with the ATR Training Centre to validate courses and simulator sessions, and the first training sessions already took place.  

As the manufacturer, ATR brings unparalleled expertise of the aircraft, and decades of feedback from operators and trainees worldwide. Each year, 3,500 trainees – flight and cabin crew members as well as maintenance operators – attend ATR courses that meet the highest international certification standards, operating with state-of-the-art equipment.  

ATR remains dedicated to providing training programmes that enhance airline operations and pilot proficiency. Through structured modules and expert instruction, ATR supports regional carriers like Tunisair Express in maintaining high operational standards and achieving long-term success.
