Enfidha Zine El Abidine Ben Ali, Tunisia's newest International Airport welcomed its first landings in the Spring last year. The airport at Enfidha, located between the two well-established tourist resorts of Sousse and Hammamet, was the new talking point of the Tunisian economy.
Tunisia's main charter airport, Habib Bourguiba International, located in nearby Monastir, proudly holds the name of the country's first President under Tunisian independence. Yet, on the 15th November 2011, one day after Tunisia's leader fled the country 'Enfidha Zine El Abidine Ben Ali International Airport', had lost its ring. Letters were plucked off the airport building this weekend. With the removal of every vowel comes the question of renaming... 'Mohamed Bouazizi International Airport', perhaps?
