Air Algérie aims to transport nearly 10 million passengers during 2026 by expanding its flight network and focusing on international markets with promising potential, according to a company statement released on Wednesday.
During its 2026 annual summit held at its “Said Ait Messouadan” headquarters, the company revealed its targets for the current year, which include exceeding the threshold of 9.8 million passengers, representing an additional one million passengers compared to 2025.
To achieve this goal, the company will expand its flight network with a focus on international markets with promising potential, while simultaneously launching a comprehensive review to improve the customer experience and elevate the quality of services provided, the statement added.
According to data announced during the summit, held under the slogan “Let’s Reinvent the Customer Experience” in the presence of executives and employees, the company recorded a notable positive performance in the past year, 2025, transporting 8.8 million passengers, an 11 percent increase compared to 2024.
The company considers 2025 a pivotal stage in its development path, marked by an acceleration of modernization through two prominent strategic steps: the creation of a domestic airline as a subsidiary and the start of receiving new aircraft to strengthen its fleet.
As part of its transition to a holding company model, Air Algérie launched its new subsidiary, “GO Ground Operations,” dedicated to handling and ground services last Monday.
During the meeting, attended by Air Algérie CEO Hamza Benhamouda and the Director General of the National Civil Aviation Agency, Hassan Boulfelfel, various activities were reviewed, results analyzed, challenges discussed, and measures proposed to ensure continuous performance improvement.
Presentations were made on key transformation pillars, particularly the integration of new IT solutions for 2026, namely the CRM / RefX systems, and their impact on improving the customer experience, in addition to restructuring the loyalty program and developing additional services.
Regarding financial performance, presentations focused on ways to improve Air Algérie’s profitability and strengthen debt monitoring mechanisms from accounting registration to collection. A discussion session was also dedicated to the new organization of the company’s units abroad, while several executives participated in workshops focused on updating operational programming systems and improving operating costs.
The summit concluded by honoring the most distinguished employees in recognition of their commitment and active contribution to achieving the goals of the Air Algérie Group, according to the statement.
