Overview

Algerian aviation connectivity is expanding through new seasonal and long-haul routes. In August 2026, Turkish Airlines announced seasonal charter services between Oran and Antalya, while Emirates confirmed the reinstatement of its Dubai-Algiers route starting September 1, 2026.

Building on this expansion, Air Algérie announced a new long-haul service connecting Algiers to Shanghai, scheduled to begin on October 26, 2026.
