Airline Withdraws Service Amid Rising Diplomatic Tensions

Emirates has announced its final flight out of Algeria, with the last scheduled departure set for February 3, 2027. The airline confirmed that flights to and from Algeria are currently operating as scheduled, but the move comes amid rising diplomatic tensions between Algeria and the UAE. Algeria recently began the process of cancelling its air services agreement with the UAE, which was signed in 2013. Emirates advised customers to proceed with their bookings and travel plans as normal, and the airline will comply with any government instructions or directives. The development was first reported by AeroTime.
