Air Algérie has initiated a series of international route expansions. In late October 2026, the airline launched a direct connection between Algiers and Shanghai, operating three flights per week. This addition follows existing routes to Beijing and Guangzhou to support bilateral trade.

The airline is also working to restore direct flights between Algiers and Moscow, with discussions ongoing to potentially resume service by early 2027. Additionally, Air Algérie has announced plans to connect Algiers and Athens, with service scheduled to begin on December 24, 2026, at a frequency of one flight per week before increasing to two weekly flights in March 2027.
