Air Algérie (AH) August 2025 Operational Report

Flight Activity Overview

Total arriving flights: 6,117

Year-over-year change: +13.93%

Air Algérie operated 6,117 arriving flights in August 2025, marking +13.93% versus last year. Demand was lifted by peak summer travel between Algeria and France, family visits across Europe–North Africa, and fuller restoration of leisure capacity. The airline continued to prioritize core city pairs while adding tactical capacity on high‑load weekend rotations to stabilize average fares.

On-Time Performance and Cancellations

On-time arrival rate: 62.29%

Change in on-time rate: -7.34 percentage points

Cancelled flights: 18

Year-over-year change (cancellations): -84.48%

Punctuality came in at 62.29%, with a change of -7.34 percentage points from a year earlier. Performance was influenced by Mediterranean convective weather, dense traffic flows over Southern Europe, and longer taxi times during midday heat. In response, the carrier tightened aircraft turnaround controls at Algiers, expanded spare‑aircraft coverage on trunk routes, and coordinated additional slots to smooth afternoon peaks.

Key Hubs

Algiers (ALG) remains the primary hub, complemented by Oran (ORN) and Constantine (CZL) as regional anchors. Connections focus on France, Spain, Italy, and domestic spokes, with morning and late‑evening banks designed for same‑day returns and onward European links. Seasonal adjustments in August concentrated capacity toward coastal and diaspora markets while preserving connectivity for interior cities.

Outlook

For travelers, Air Algérie offers broad access to Algeria with improving network depth and reliable core frequencies. Expect punctuality to stabilize around late‑summer norms as schedule buffers and spare‑aircraft coverage remain in place; allow extra time for connections at peak midday periods. Into autumn, the carrier plans to recalibrate frequencies on France–Algeria corridors and refine ground processes, aiming for steadier on‑time performance and a smoother journey experience.
