Qatar Airways and Air Algérie have announced the signing of a new codeshare agreement aimed at strengthening air connectivity between Algeria and key travel markets in Asia and the Middle East via the multi-award-winning Hamad International Airport.
Under the agreement, travelers can book codeshare flights from today, with travel starting from November 15, 2025, according to a press release published on the Qatar Airways website.
The agreement builds on the existing cooperation between the two sides under an "Interline" agreement, giving Qatar Airways customers easy access to the Algerian capital, Algiers, along with 6 other domestic destinations: Annaba, Constantine, Oran, Tamanrasset, Timimoun and Tindouf, according to an official post on the Qatar Airways website.
Members of the Qatar Airways Privilege Club will benefit from earning "Avios" on flights operated by Air Algérie under the codeshare agreement, giving them wider opportunities to earn and redeem points with greater flexibility in travel options.
In return, the agreement gives Air Algérie customers wider options to travel to global destinations such as Hong Kong, Kuala Lumpur and Muscat via Hamad International Airport in Doha, with coverage soon to extend to additional destinations within Qatar Airways' global network.
For his part, Thierry Antinori, Chief Commercial Officer of Qatar Airways, explained that our partnership with Air Algérie is being strengthened through this new codeshare agreement, which will consolidate our presence in key African markets.
He added that this cooperation gives travelers wider choices and a smoother travel experience to the Middle East and Asia, and reflects our continued commitment to strengthening strategic partnerships, such as our cooperation with Air Algérie.
He noted that this step contributes to enhancing global air connectivity to and from Africa via our hub, Hamad International Airport, which was named the World's Best Airport in 2021, 2022 and 2024.
Sami El Karim Boutemadja, Head of the Commercial Division at Air Algérie, said that this agreement with Qatar Airways will help strengthen Air Algérie's position in the Middle East and Asia by offering our customers greater opportunities to reach new destinations, as well as promoting travel to Algeria.
He stressed that the agreement is also part of Air Algérie's strategy to expand its network of destinations and strengthen its air connectivity via its operational hub in Algiers, adding that we seek to achieve a fruitful and successful partnership with Qatar Airways.
