TUNIS- Tunisia's national carrier Tunisair is expected to lose 70 million dinars ($24.6 million) in March and 80 million dinars in April due to the coronavirus, its chief executive Elyes Mankbi told Reuters on Monday.

Tunisia has placed many restrictions on air travel with Europe and other affected regions to staunch the spread of the disease.
