A new low-cost airline will soon operate flights in Algeria. Starting at the end of next month, it will offer regular direct flights from several Turkish cities to three international airports in Algeria.
The flight offerings between Turkey and Algeria are soon to become more competitive. A new airline will challenge the current market monopoly held by the national carriers of both countries, Air Algérie and Turkish Airlines.
This is AJet, a Turkish low-cost airline based in Ankara, which is a subsidiary of the Turkish national airline, Turkish Airlines. In a press release received by our editorial team on Thursday, November 28, AJet announced its official launch in Algeria.

Starting December 25, 2024, AJet will offer regular flights from Istanbul, Ankara, and Antalya to major Algerian cities, namely Algiers, Oran, and Constantine, as specified in the company’s statement.
Through this initiative, AJet aims to “strengthen cultural, commercial, and tourism relations between Algeria and Turkey,” as well as “offer quality services at competitive prices to business and leisure travelers.”
For the launch of its new routes to Algeria, AJet promises competitive prices and high-quality offers to make air travel accessible to everyone, aiming to provide an exceptional travel experience with qualified staff and state-of-the-art services.

“We are proud to launch AJet’s operations in Algeria. Our objective is to offer comfortable flight choices and develop economic and cultural cooperation between Algeria and Turkey,” says AJet’s director in Algeria, Ayoub Ouahabi.
The official, who is the first Algerian-origin director in the history of Turkish airlines, also mentioned that the low-cost carrier aims for long-term cooperation with the Algerian air market.
The announcement states that the appointment of Ayoub Ouahabi as head of the company in Algeria reflects a strategic partnership between the two countries and a commitment to developing local services based on Algerian expertise.
At the moment, the Turkish airline has not released its flight schedule to Algeria, nor has it announced when bookings will open. On its website, flights to Algeria are not yet available for purchase.
