I think Aegean also held slots for a service to Athens this summer, but this seems to have been taken off sale as well. It was on sale, but is no more. Same with Air Algerie.
So there does seem to be a bit of churn going on. Will be interesting to see what comes of all of this.
Air Algérie had recently announced changes to their proposed Algiers to London Gatwick route.
Service was supposed to start on the 06 January 2024. This has now been pushed back to the start of the IATA summer season with service to commence on 31 March 2024.
Flights are now scheduled to be daily by a Boeing 738.
Tentative schedule for service to commence on the 31 March 2024.
AH2058 ALG 15.10 LGW 16.40 Daily B738
AH2059 LGW 17.50 ALG 21.40 Daily B738
