About FlyArystan
Air Algerie (ICAO: AYN) is the flag carrier of Algeria, connecting the nation domestically and internationally across several continents.
Air Algerie's roots trace back to Compagnie Générale de Transports Aériens (CGTA), established by the French colonial government in 1947. CGTA later merged with Compagnie Air Transport (CAT) in 1953 to form Compagnie Générale de Transports Aériens Air Algérie. Following Algeria's independence in 1962, the Algerian government progressively acquired a controlling interest, eventually becoming the sole owner by 1972.
The airline's primary hub and operational base is Houari Boumediene Airport (ALG) in Algiers. It also utilizes Ahmed Ben Bella Airport (ORN) in Oran and Mohamed Boudiaf International Airport (CZL) in Constantine as secondary operational bases. Air Algerie operates a mixed fleet primarily consisting of ATR turboprops, Boeing 737s (including 737-600, 737-700, and 737-800 variants), and Airbus A330s for its long-haul operations. The airline has plans for significant fleet modernization and expansion, with firm orders for Boeing 737 MAX 9s, Airbus A330-900s, and Airbus A350-1000s, with deliveries expected to begin from 2025.
Air Algerie maintains an extensive route network, serving 33 domestic destinations within Algeria and 42 to 48 international destinations across 28 to 30 countries. These international routes span Europe, North America (e.g., Montreal), Africa, Asia (e.g., Beijing), and the Middle East. While Air Algerie is a member of the African Airlines Association (AFRAA) and the Arab Air Carriers Organization, it is not currently a full member of any major global airline alliances like Star Alliance, SkyTeam, or Oneworld, though it has expressed intentions to join SkyTeam and has begun aligning its agreements for potential future membership. On its long-haul Airbus A330-200s, the airline offers a three-class layout: Business, Premium Economy, and Economy.
