Air Algérie is modifying its flight schedule for the 2026-2027 winter season, notably by reducing its Algiers-Douala service to three weekly flights on Tuesdays, Fridays, and Sundays. Approved by the Cameroon Civil Aviation Authority on October 8, 2026, these changes eliminate stops in Abuja and N'Djamena to improve travel speed and efficiency. This strategy addresses the growing competition in Cameroon, where the number of airlines has risen from 16 to 21. Simultaneously, the carrier is expanding its African footprint starting late October 2026 with the launch of new routes to Conakry and Brazzaville, along with new connections involving Abuja and Lagos.
