NCAA gives permit for Air Algérie’s operation.
Both countries – The Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority and the Algerian government have strengthened their aviation collaboration with the unveiling of Air Algérie’s inaugural flight on April 6, 2025.
A major highlight of the meeting between both countries was the formal presentation of a Foreign Carrier Operating Permit to Air Algérie, Algeria’s national airline.
The agency made this disclosure on Wednesday through their official X account.
This permit grants the airline expanded access to Nigerian airspace, a move expected to boost economic ties and further solidify the partnership between the two countries.
In addition to the permit, approval was also granted for a new flight route connecting Algeria–Nigeria–Douala, Cameroon. This new route aims to enhance regional connectivity and improve travel options for passengers across West and North Africa.
