Nigeria and Algeria Strengthen Bilateral Ties with Air Algerie’s Inaugural Flight
The Nigerian Ministry of Foreign Affairs has announced the commencement of Air Algerie’s inaugural direct flight from Algiers to Abuja, scheduled for April 6, 2025. This historic development marks a significant milestone in the growing diplomatic and economic relations between Nigeria and Algeria.
According to Kimiebi Imomotimi Ebienfa, Spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, “This landmark development equally underscores the shared commitment of both countries to deepening bilateral cooperation in aviation, commerce, and people-to-people exchanges.”
The new route, operated by Algeria’s national carrier, Algerie Air, will enhance connectivity, promote tourism, and facilitate trade and investment between the two nations. The Boeing 737 Aircraft will operate twice a week, providing Nigerians with a convenient gateway to Europe.
The Nigerian government encourages citizens and business communities to take advantage of this enhanced air connectivity to explore trade, tourism, and cultural exchanges between both countries. With the affordable fare structure and Algeria’s proximity to Europe, Nigeria’s position as a regional hub for business, tourism, and transit is expected to be enhanced.
