Canada's Minister of Transport, Steven MacKinnon, announced an expanded air transport agreement with Tunisia.

The expanded agreement includes:
• Up to seven weekly passenger-combination flights for each country (up from four)
• Access to all points in each country (up from one point each)
• Unlimited weekly all-cargo flights (previously no dedicated all-cargo rights)

The Canada-Tunisia Air Transport Agreement was originally concluded in 2010 and first expanded in 2019.

Since the Agreement was last expanded in 2019, passenger traffic between Canada and Tunisia is up more than 55 per cent.

Demand for connectivity between Canada and Tunisia continues to grow, supported by expanding trade and investment ties, business, tourism, education and family travel, as well as strong people-to-people connections, including a Canadian-Tunisian diaspora of more than 30,000 people (2021 Census) and nearly 3,000 Tunisian students studying in Canada in 2025.
