No specific details on the order (i.e if they are to be leased/bought and from whom) have been revealed thus far though it is said the Airbus A330 "will enable the company to launch two new flights to destinations in China and Canada during Summer 2013", with flights to Brazil, the USA and possibly South Africa, to follow.
As part of its expansion plan, the carrier plans to list on the Tunisian Stock Exchange with its IPO due in February 2013.
Founded in 2011 and based in the coastal city of Sfax by businessman Mohamed Frikha, Syphax Airlines Syphax currently operates two Airbus A319s for use on its domestic Tunisian flights. Regional services include Morocco, Libya, Turkey and Saudi Arabia with an extensive network to France and the United Kingdom.
