About Air Algerie
Air Algerie (ICAO: DAH) is the flag carrier of Algeria, with its head office located in Algiers. The airline's origins trace back to 1946 with the establishment of Compagnie Générale de Transports Aériens (CGTA). In 1953, CGTA merged with Compagnie Air Transport (CAT) to form Compagnie Générale de Transports Aériens Air Algérie. Following Algeria's independence in 1962, the airline gained flag carrier status, and by 1974, it became 100% owned by the Algerian government. Its primary operational base and main hub is Houari Boumediene Airport (ALG) in Algiers, with Ahmed Ben Bella Airport in Oran serving as a secondary hub.
As of late 2024, Air Algerie operates a diverse fleet of approximately 55-62 aircraft. This includes a mix of ATR turboprops (ATR 72-500, ATR 72-600) for regional routes, Boeing 737s (737-600, 737-700C, 737-800, 737-800BCF) for short to medium-haul flights, and Airbus A330-200s for long-haul operations. The airline has plans for fleet modernization and expansion, with firm orders for Airbus A330-900s and A350-1000s, and intentions to lease additional aircraft including Boeing 737 MAX 9s.
Air Algerie provides scheduled services to 32-33 domestic destinations within Algeria and 42-48 international destinations across 28-30 countries in Europe, North America, Africa, Asia, and the Middle East. While Air Algerie is not currently a member of any major global airline alliances like Star Alliance, SkyTeam, or Oneworld, it has reportedly applied to join Star Alliance and is working on aligning its codeshare agreements, frequent flyer programs, and lounge agreements with SkyTeam carriers. The airline offers Economy, Business, and First Class cabins, depending on the aircraft and route. Business Class passengers can expect features such as spacious seating, and on some long-haul aircraft, fully-flat beds and direct aisle access, along with gourmet dining and entertainment options.
