This order will allow Air Algérie to take full advantage of the flexibility of the Airbus product range, strengthen its regional services and offer an ambitious plan for transcontinental destinations. By operating the A330neo alongside the A350-1000, Air Algérie will also benefit from operational savings such as a 25% lower fuel burn per seat and greater flexibility resulting from the unique commonality between members of the Airbus aircraft Family.
