The codeshare provides Qatar Airways customers easier access to Algiers as well as six other key destinations in Air Algérie’s domestic network – Annaba, Constantine, Oran, Tamanrasset, Timimoun, and Tindouf. Privilege Club members will also earn Avios on codeshare flights operated by Air Algérie.
The Algerian national flag carrier will now be able to offer more travel options for its passengers to Hong Kong, Kuala Lumpur and Muscat. This agreement will soon be expanded to include additional destinations.

“This agreement contributes to Air Algérie’s global strategy to expand its network and connections through its Algiers hub.”
