Tunis-Carthage Airport Authority Debunks Viral Photo, Warns Against Fake News

The Office of Civil Aviation and Airports (OACA) has issued a strong denial regarding a recently circulated photograph on social media, which falsely depicted the use of barrels in the parking area of Tunis-Carthage International Airport. In a clear statement, the OACA emphasized that the image is outdated, originating from a period when temporary renovation work was underway at the parking facility. The equipment shown in the photograph was promptly removed upon completion of these works, and the OACA assures the public that the current situation at the airport parking is entirely different. This clarification serves as a crucial reminder to the public to exercise caution and critical judgment when encountering information online. The OACA warns against the dissemination of misinformation, which can not only mislead public opinion but also unjustly damage the reputation of vital public services. Maintaining trust and accuracy in public information is paramount.
