TUIfly Belgium is putting Tunisian leisure back on the Brussels board for northern summer 2027. AeroRoutes reported on September 24, 2026, that the TUI leisure carrier plans to resume Brussels–Djerba and Brussels–Enfidha flying from March 28, 2027, restoring markets last served until March 2025.
On Djerba, the initial NS27 plan shows four weekly flights on a mix of Boeing 737-800 and Embraer E190/E195 metal, stepping up to six weekly between July 1 and August 31, 2027. Sample filings include early-morning departures such as TB2705 leaving Brussels around 06:15–06:25 depending on the day, with matching late-morning Tunisian returns and a second bank on selected midweek and weekend days.
Enfidha follows a slightly thinner pattern: three weekly at the March 28 start on the same 737-800 and Embraer mix, rising to five weekly from July 5, 2027. AeroRoutes’ snapshot lists morning TB2751 departures near 06:05 and a midday bank near 12:15, with Tunisian returns timed to bring leisure traffic back into Brussels in the afternoon and evening.
The dual Tunisia restore matters because Djerba and Enfidha serve different resort catchments on the same North African leisure franchise. Bringing both back for NS27 signals that TUI Belgium expects summer 2027 Tunisia demand to clear after the 2025 pause, rather than concentrating on a single coastal gateway.
Fleet flexibility is built into the filing. Alternating 737-800 and Embraer E-Jets lets TUIfly Belgium match gauge to day-of-week loads without parking a single narrowbody type on every Tunisia bank. Peak July–August upgauges to six weekly Djerba and five weekly Enfidha are the clearest tell that the carrier is planning for high-summer charter-style peaks rather than a flat year-round schedule.
For Brussels passengers, the practical news is a return of direct Tunisia beach flying without a Dutch or German TUI connection. For Tunisian airports, the Belgian flag adds northern European leisure seats that compete with other European charter and low-cost feeds into Djerba and Enfidha.
Risks track the usual leisure variables: hotel allotments, geopolitical travel advice, and how aggressively other Belgian and Dutch carriers price Tunisia in the same season. AeroRoutes notes that airline schedules still move after press time, so March frequencies should be treated as the filed plan rather than a frozen charter program.
Separately on the same AeroRoutes day, TUIfly Belgium also adjusted Palermo into a nonstop Brussels–Palermo Embraer E195-E2 twice-weekly terminator from May 10, 2027, replacing a previous Brussels–Naples–Palermo triangle. That Italian tweak sits beside the Tunisia restore as part of a broader NS27 leisure tidy-up from Brussels.
As of AeroRoutes’ September 24 filings, the Tunisia story is a March 28, 2027 resume on Djerba and Enfidha with summer frequency peaks and mixed 737/Embraer flying. Source reporting: AeroRoutes TUIfly Belgium Djerba/Enfidha NS27 update, September 24, 2026.
Travel agents building 2027 Tunisia packages should watch TUI’s allotment releases once the flights open for booking, because four-to-six weekly Djerba banks can sell out early when Belgian school holidays align with Tunisian high summer.
From a Brussels Airport standpoint, the Tunisia restore also fills wide midday and afternoon arrival slots that leisure carriers prize for same-day coach connections into Flanders and Wallonia. If the March start holds, TUIfly Belgium will enter summer 2027 with a clearer North Africa leisure spine than it had after the 2025 pause.
