Algerian aviation route developments

Overview

Air Algérie has resumed flight reservations between Algiers and Doha, ending a seven-month suspension linked to regional security tensions and airspace restrictions in the Middle East. To support the return of this route, the airline introduced promotional fares for travel through March 2027.

Regarding North American connectivity, Air Canada has officially withdrawn its planned resumption of direct service between Montreal and Algiers from its summer 2027 schedule. This decision reverses a previous announcement to restart the route with four weekly rotations. This marks the second cancellation of this specific service within two years, following a suspension during the 2026 summer season. While Air Canada continues to offer travel options between the two cities, these will require connections rather than the direct service originally intended.
