Air Algérie has taken delivery of its first Airbus A330-900, marking a significant milestone in the airline’s long-term expansion strategy. The new aircraft will support growth from Algiers by enabling the launch of additional transatlantic and Asian routes.
Air Algérie’s aircraft is configured in a three-class layout, featuring 18 full-flat Business-Class seats, 24 Premium-Economy seats and 266 seats in Economy.
Passengers will experience Airbus’ Airspace cabin, known for its improved sense of space, larger overhead bins, modern lighting and access to the latest in-flight entertainment and connectivity systems.
As part of its fleet modernisation, Air Algérie plans to establish itself as a regional centre of excellence for the A330neo. The airline will further develop its maintenance and repair capabilities and create a dedicated maintenance training centre to support the aircraft type.
At the end of October 2025, the A330 family had won over 1,900 firm orders from more than 130 customers worldwide. As with all Airbus aircraft, the A330neo is already able to operate with up to 50% sustainable aviation fuel (SAF). Airbus is targeting to have its aircraft up to 100% SAF-capable by 2030.
