Qatar Airways and Air Algérie have announced the launch of a new codeshare partnership designed to improve network connectivity between Algeria and key destinations across Asia and the Middle East through Hamad International Airport in Doha. The agreement takes effect today, with codeshare flights available for travel beginning November 15, 2025.
The new partnership builds on an existing interline agreement between the two airlines and will allow Qatar Airways passengers to access Algiers and six additional destinations within Algeria—Annaba, Constantine, Oran, Tamanrasset, Timimoun, and Tindouf. Members of Qatar Airways’ Privilege Club will also earn Avios on codeshare flights operated by Air Algérie.
In return, Air Algérie passengers will benefit from expanded travel options to destinations such as Hong Kong, Kuala Lumpur, and Muscat via Doha. Plans are in place to further expand the codeshare agreement to include more destinations in the near future.
Qatar Airways Chief Commercial Officer, Thierry Antinori, said: “We are delighted to expand our partnership with Air Algérie through this new codeshare agreement, further strengthening our presence across key African markets. This collaboration will offer travellers greater choice and seamless connectivity to the Middle East, and Asia. It also reflects our ongoing commitment to deepening strategic partnerships, such as with Air Algérie, that enhance global connectivity from and to Africa through our hub, Hamad International Airport, which has been named by Skytrax as the ‘Best Airport in the Middle East’ for 11 consecutive years, and ‘World’s Best Airport’ in 2021, 2022, and 2024. We look forward to a long and fruitful partnership with Air Algérie.”
Air Algérie Head of Commercial Division, Samy El Karim Boutemadja, said: “This codeshare agreement with Qatar Airways will certainly give Air Algérie the opportunity to enhance the company’s positioning in the Middle East and in Asia, by offering its customers larger possibilities to reach new destinations, as well as promoting travelling to Algeria. This agreement contributes to Air Algérie’s global strategy to expand its network and connections through its Algiers hub. We are looking forward to a successful partnership with Qatar Airways.”
Qatar Airways currently maintains 30 interline and six codeshare agreements with airlines across Africa, operating 213 weekly flights to 30 cities in 21 African countries.
