Air Algérie and Boeing have signed a firm order for eight 737-9 jets during a media briefing at the Paris Air Show. The new aircraft will allow the carrier to continue to carry more passengers and increase profitability within its network.
“This order will contribute to the development of the Air Algérie fleet,” said Yacine Benslimane, General Manager of Air Algérie. “This acquisition is part of Air Algérie’s fleet extension strategy through the purchase of new aircraft.”
The additional Boeing aircraft will join Air Algérie’s existing single-aisle fleet, which consists of more than 30 737-500, 737-600 and 737-800 aircraft.
“The 737-9 is ideally suited for Air Algérie’s regional network, providing it with additional capacity and flexibility to operate seamlessly with its existing 737 fleet,” said Stan Deal, President and CEO, Boeing Commercial Airplanes.
