BEIRUT: Air Algerie has announced the resumption of flights to Beirut, starting on Aug. 14.
The announcement follows an Algerian-Lebanese summit between the countries’ presidents, Joseph Aoun and Abdelmadjid Tebboune, held in Algiers on Tuesday.
Algeria’s Tebboune confirmed he had issued instructions for Air Algerie to resume flights to Beirut, with two weekly flights starting within the next two weeks. Tickets are already on sale through the airline’s commercial offices and website.
Tebboune also said discussions would be held on the establishment of a maritime line between Algeria and the port of Tripoli, in northern Lebanon. The link would aim to boost industry and commerce, especially during the country’s reconstruction phase.
He pledged “unwavering support to Lebanon” in the area of renewable energy, including the construction of solar power plants.
