Algeria’s flag carrier Air Algérie has placed an order for 10 Boeing 737 MAX 8 jets to support its ongoing fleet renewal efforts. Deliveries will start in summer 2026, with five aircraft arriving that year from July onward and the rest in 2027.
These narrowbody planes will replace aging Boeing 737NG models, including 737-800s, -700s and -600s, plus a few older Airbus A320-family aircraft. The move fits into broader upgrades, following a prior commitment for eight 737 MAX 9s announced at the 2023 Paris Air Show.
Air Algérie operates from Algiers, handling key domestic routes and international services to Europe, Africa and the Middle East. Its current lineup features 27 Boeing 737NGs, five Airbus A320s, ATR 72 turboprops and Airbus A330 widebodies, with new A330-900s entering service for long-haul expansion.
No details emerged on the order’s value, engines, cabin setup or financing. The delivery schedule points to slots freed up by other Boeing customers.
