Hey everyone, just heard that Manchester Airport is adding a new route to Algiers, and it's starting in June 2026. Air Algerie is going to operate this route with Boeing aircraft, which is pretty cool. They're planning two flights a week, so it's not a daily thing, but still a nice option for anyone looking to head to Algiers or beyond.
I think it's great to see more connections to Africa from the UK. It's a bit of an under-served market compared to other regions. Wondering how popular this route will be, though. Do you think there's enough demand for flights to Algiers from Manchester? Or is this more about connecting flights and giving folks more options to travel deeper into Africa?
Also, any thoughts on why they chose Algiers specifically? I guess it's a good hub for North Africa, but not sure if there are business ties or tourism factors driving this choice. Would love to hear what you all think about this new addition!
