Tabarka–Aïn Draham International Airport (French: Aéroport international de Tabarka–Aïn Draham, Tunisian Arabic: مطار طبرقة-عين دراهم الدولي) (IATA: TBJ, ICAO: DTKA), formerly Tabarka–7 November International Airport, is an airport serving Tabarka in Tunisia.
Tabarka Airport was built in 1992 to serve the northwest region of Tunisia. It was renamed following the Tunisian Revolution in 2011.
The airport facilitates tourism in the region. However, due to a decline in tourism after the Revolution, the airport experienced a drop in traffic. In 2010, 63,000 passengers transited through Tabarka Airport; in 2011, it received less than 18,000 passengers. On 15 November 2013, rumours of the closure of the airport led to protests by its employees.
Tabarka Airport is currently served by Tunisair Express flights to Tunis. During the Hajj season, Tunisair operates charter flights to Medina.
