Already very dense, air links between Algeria and France are strengthening. The French low-cost company Transavia, a competitor of Air Algérie, has announced that it will serve four additional French cities from Algerian airports, at very low rates.
Transavia Airlines, a low-cost subsidiary of Air France-KLM, is continuing its expansion in the Algerian market where it opened its first office in March 2024. During the summer of 2024, it operated 20 routes between Algerian and French cities, carrying 875,000 passengers.
The offer will be further increased since the French company has decided to serve four other French airports. The new lines announced are Marseille-Algiers, Toulouse-Algiers, Nice-Algiers and Toulouse-Oran.
Transavia already served the French airports of Paris-Orly, Nantes, Lyon, Montpellier, and Strasbourg from Algeria.
The new flights will be inaugurated next October.
