Emirates has confirmed that it will double its service between Algiers,
the capital city of Algeria,
and Dubai from two to four flights per week, effective 1 May 2022.
From that date, the service between Algiers and Dubai will no longer be
linked with Tunis.
Emirates will utilise Boeing 777-300ER
aircraft on the route, with the new flights taking off on Saturdays and Sundays, in addition to the current
Tuesday and Thursday services.

Flight EK757
is timed to leave Dubai at 08:45, arriving in Algiers at 12:55hrs. Flight EK758
is scheduled to depart from Algiers at
15:45, arriving in Dubai at 01:05 the next day.
Emirates is the only airline serving Algeria with
private, enclosed First Class cabins.
Omar Alhemeiri - Emirates Manager Algeria, said, “We have seen a marked increase in passenger
demand to and from Algiers, especially to Dubai and onwards to
other destinations that are gradually opening or easing their
restrictions across our network. We hope that by increasing our
frequency into Algeria, we are able to support traffic flows in
and out of the country as it continues its post-pandemic economic
recovery, and it is also a testament to our commitment to Algeria.
We have been operating flights for almost 10 years, connecting
Algerians to the world and offering a world-class experience
onboard, whilst prioritising the health and safety of our
customers. We look forward to boosting our services further in the
future to provide better travel options for our customers as they
take to the skies again.”
Travellers are encouraged to check the latest
government travel restrictions in their country of origin and
ensure they meet the travel requirements of their final
destination.
