Domestic Airlines expands fleet with second ATR 72-600

Air Algérie has advanced its fleet renewal program for its subsidiary, Domestic Airlines, by receiving a second ATR 72-600 aircraft. The plane, registered as F-WWEE with serial number MSN 1839, was spotted at Toulouse-Blagnac airport in late October 2026, following the delivery of the first aircraft, "Tassili," in July 2026. This acquisition is part of a larger order for 16 regional aircraft featuring Pratt & Whitney PW127XT engines, aimed at boosting domestic flight capacity, particularly for the southern provinces. A video released by the manufacturer showcases the painting process of the aircraft, highlighting a cooperation that spans over two decades. Furthermore, the agreement includes the installation of the first full flight simulator for the ATR 72-600 in Africa.
