London Stansted is celebrating the arrival of a new airline and the addition of a new country to its network, as Air Algérie launched its first direct flight to Algiers yesterday (April 2).
The Algerian flag carrier will operate four flights per week to Houari Boumediene Airport on Wednesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays, and Sundays using Boeing 737 aircraft, offering both business and economy seats.
Fares start at £205, including 10kg of cabin baggage and 23kg of hold baggage.
