Airbus has announced that Air Algérie, the national airline of Algeria, has recently placed a firm order for seven widebody aircraft as part of its strategic plan for commercial growth. This significant order highlights Air Algérie’s commitment to expanding its services both regionally and on transcontinental routes. By incorporating Airbus aircraft into its fleet, specifically the A330neo and A350-1000 models, Air Algérie aims to capitalize on the flexibility and efficiency offered by these state-of-the-art aircraft.
The decision to operate the A330neo and A350-1000 will provide Air Algérie with several advantages, including significant operational savings. The A330neo, powered by Rolls-Royce Trent 7000 engines, offers a 25 percent lower fuel burn per seat, contributing to enhanced cost-efficiency for the airline. Furthermore, the commonality between the Airbus aircraft family enables greater flexibility in fleet management and maintenance operations, ultimately streamlining the airline’s operations.
