Jet2 Removes Tunisia S2016
Considering the common border with Lybia and the ongoing crisis there, it was surprising to see JET2, or any other British Tour Operator, programming flights and holidays to Tunisia for 2015. It would have been prudent of the Tunisian Governement to have provided armed security on the beaches particularly after the terrorist attack at the Tunis museum. However being on holiday and sunbathing on the beach while surrounded by armed and uniformed security forces would be anything but reassuring. There again and considering other scenarios, it is easy to imagine an armed security member turning terrorist due to his concealed extremist convictions.

You say JET2 has cancelled all flights to Tunisia but the following flight is scheduled for departure from Manchester to NBE tomorrow morning, which is to be spotted on the Flightradar24 website both at the Manchester airport departures and the Enfidha airport arrivals. Any idea why? Tom and TCX still have flights to NBE, so maybe JET2 are assisting in repatriating other agencies' travellers?

and another flight from Glasgow:
