Flights to Algiers
Which airport to land at, how far each is from the centre, and where the routes go. Live fares are booked here.
Algiers is served by one airport with scheduled flights. The closest large one is Houari Boumediene Airport (ALG), 12 km (7 mi) from the centre, whose 11,483-ft runway is long enough for long-haul wide-body aircraft.
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Houari Boumediene Airport | ALG | 12 km (7 mi) | 11,483 ft | 82 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 11,483 ft, ALG can take the largest long-haul aircraft, so direct intercontinental flights are physically possible here. The airport sits at 82 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
