Air Algérie Resumes Conakry Route After 45-Year Hiatus

Air Algérie has officially resumed its flight operations to Conakry, Guinea, as of October 25, 2026, marking the end of a 45-year interruption. The airline will operate three weekly flights connecting Algiers and the Guinean capital.

Strategic Economic and Diplomatic Implications

This resumption of service is designed to facilitate travel between the two nations and bolster commercial exchanges. Guinean authorities are particularly keen on strengthening air connectivity with Algeria to support key economic initiatives outlined in the Simandou 2040 program. To further enhance this link, there are plans to increase the frequency of flights to five or six per week in the near future.

Part of a Broader Expansion Strategy

The Conakry route is one component of a broader expansion plan announced by Air Algérie on October 24, 2026, which includes the launch of five new destinations. In addition to Conakry, the airline is introducing new routes to Brazzaville, Lagos, and Shanghai starting October 26, 2026, followed by a new service to Tripoli on October 28, 2026.
