No injuries were reported, according to Governor Mondher Sik Ali, who visited the airport after the incident.
Inspections revealed problems with the ceiling plaster, which was completed in 1985. This plaster exceeded the technical specifications with a thickness of 3 centimetres, which adds extra weight. Ideally, it should have been no more than 1 or 1.5 centimetres thick."The fall of this plaster could have happened in 1998 or at any other time, but it happened today, exposing this flaw," the governor said.
Accordingly, from Wednesday, November 8, a team from the Civil Aviation and Airports Authority will start a comprehensive audit of this airport in order to determine responsibilities and take the necessary measures and actions. "The situation of Monastir International Airport is continuously monitored within the framework of the contractual obligations, and ceiling problems have already been identified by the Civil Aviation and Airports Authority during their last audit at the said airport, with TAV - Tunisia, the operator, committing to address them."
