In 1946, ''Compagnie Générale de Transports Aériens (CGTA)'' was established. It started operating flights between [[Algeria]] and [[Europe]] on a charter basis in 1947. However, by the end of the decade, CGTA was operating scheduled flights serving [[Algiers]], [[Basel]], [[Annaba|Bône]], [[Geneva]], [[Marseille]], [[Paris]], [[Skikda|Philippeville]], and [[Toulouse]].{{sfnp|Guttery|1998|p=12}} In 1952, three 34-seater [[Sud-Ouest Bretagne|Bretagne]]s joined a fleet of seven [[DC-3]]s.{{sfnp|Guttery|1998|p=12–13}} Meanwhile, ''Compagnie Air Transport (CAT)'', a subsidiary of [[Air France]] and ''[[Compagnie Générale Transatlantique]]'', had been formed in the late 1940s to connect Basel, [[Lyon]], Marseille, Paris, and Toulouse with Algiers, [[Constantine, Algeria|Constantine]], and [[Oran]]. Seasonal [[London]]–[[Deauville]], and London–[[Le Touquet]] flights were also undertaken. Following a drop in traffic after 1951, a merging partner was under consideration.{{sfnp|Guttery|1998|p=13}}

CGTA, and CAT merged on 23 May 1953 to form the ''Compagnie Générale de Transports Aériens Air Algérie'',{{sfnp|Guttery|1998|p=13}}<ref name="Flight1959-541"/> with a combined fleet that included one [[Breguet Deux-Ponts|Breguet 761]], six [[Sud-Ouest Bretagne|Bretagne]]s, five DC-3s, and three [[Douglas DC-4|DC-4]]s.<ref name="Flight1953-468"/> Following the merger, Air Algérie commenced seasonal services to [[Ajaccio]], [[Clermont-Ferrand Auvergne Airport|Clermont]], [[Montpellier]], and [[Perpignan]]. Furthermore, [[Switzerland]] was added to the regular schedule, a stop at [[Palma de Mallorca|Palma]] was performed on a weekly basis in partnership with [[Aviaco]], and most of the trans-Mediterranean routes were operated in a pool agreement with Air France, with the French carrier flying 54% of these services, and the remainder was left for Air Algérie. Flights to the [[Cote d'Azur]] were added in the late 1950s.{{sfnp|Guttery|1998|p=13}}

Two [[Noratlas]] aircraft were acquired in July 1957, with a third entering the fleet in {{MONTHNAME|7}} the following year. In addition, it became the first private [[France|French]] [[Air carrier|carrier]] to order the [[Sud-Aviation Caravelle|Caravelle]] in early 1958,<ref name="Flight1958-365"/> the first of which was handed over by the manufacturer in January 1960.<ref name="Flight1960-187"/><ref name="Flight1960-163"/> Following delivery, the aircraft was deployed on the Algiers–[[Paris]] route.<ref name="Flight1960-187"/><ref name="Flight1960-163" /> The type was also used to fly Paris–Bône and Paris–[[Oran]] services in the subsequent months.<ref name="Flight1960-496"/> By April 1960, Air Algérie's fleet consisted of three Caravelles, three DC-3s, ten DC-4s, two [[Lockheed L-749 Constellation]]s, and three Noratlases.<ref name="Flight1960-496"/> The Caravelles were gradually deployed on the routes previously flown with the Constellations and the DC-4s, which were used for cargo services or sold.{{sfnp|Guttery|1998|p=13}}

===Algerian independence===

Two shipping companies, ''Compagnie Générale Transatlantique,'' and ''[[Compagnie de Navigation Mixte]]'', were the owners of a majority stake (98%) in Air Algérie until [[Algerian War|Algeria gained its independence in 1962]].<ref name="FI1968-515"/><ref name="FI1966-933"/>{{rp|934}} Following independence, the ''Délégation Générale'' in Algeria and Air France took over a controlling interest.<ref name="FI1966-933"/>{{rp|934}} The financial structure changed in March 1963, when the shipping companies and Air France ceded a 31% interest,<ref name="FI1966-933"/>{{rp|934}} and the [[Algerian government]] took possession of 51% of the company assets, with the airline gaining flag carrier status.<ref name="The Arab airlines' challenge"/>{{rp|1514}} In April 1964, the government increased the participation in the airline to 57%.<ref name="FI1964-465" /> That month, a contract was signed for the acquisition of two [[Ilyushin Il-18]]s aimed at operating the Algiers–[[Moscow]] service.{{sfnp|Guttery|1998|p=13}}<ref name="FI1964-747" /> Air Algérie took delivery of just one of these aircraft, as the contract was later cancelled. The sole [[Ilyushin Il-18|Il-18]] in the fleet was used by the government.{{sfnp|Guttery|1998|p=13}} There were eight DC-4s in the airline's fleet by April 1968.<ref name="FI1968-515" /> That year, four ex-[[Lufthansa]] [[Convair 440]]s were bought and converted to the 640 version. These aircraft came to replace the ageing DC-4s. Charter operations made up to 20% of the airline activities.{{sfnp|Guttery|1998|p=13,15}}

[[File:Air Algerie Fokker F-27-400M Friendship Aragao-1.jpg|thumb|left|A [[Fokker F27 Friendship]] of Air Algérie at [[Faro Airport]] in 1991]]

By March 1970, the government was the owner of 83% of the company; at this time, a [[Boeing 737-200]], five Caravelles, four [[CV-640]]s, three [[DC-3]]s and one [[DC-4]] were part of the fleet.<ref name="FI1970-467" /> ''[[Société de Travail Aérien]]'', a domestic carrier that had been founded in 1968, was taken over by Air Algérie in May 1972.<ref name="FI1975-267"/><ref name="FI1974-213"/> In {{MONTHNAME|8}}, three [[Fokker F27-400]]s were ordered for [[Pound sterling|£]]2.5&nbsp;million.<ref name="FI1972-267" /> In {{MONTHNAME|9}}, with a second [[Boeing 737]] pending delivery, two more aircraft of the type —one of them a convertible model— were ordered.<ref name="FI1972-383" /> That year, the [[government of Algeria]] boosted its participation in the carrier to 100% when it acquired the remaining 17.74% stake held by Air France.<ref name="FI1973-433" /> A new route to [[Karachi]] was inaugurated in 1975.{{sfnp|Guttery|1998|p=15}} In November 1979, four [[Boeing 727]]s were ordered in a deal worth {{US$|62}}&nbsp;million.<ref name="FI1979-1551" />

By July 1980, Air Algérie had 5,621 employees and a fleet comprising 57 aircraft, including 14 [[Grumman Ag Cat|Ag-Cat]]s, six [[Boeing 727-200]]s, ten [[Boeing 737|Boeing 737-200s]], three [[Boeing 737-200C]]s, one [[Boeing 747-200C]], one [[Cherokee Six]], two [[Convair CV-640]]s, one [[Douglas DC-8-63]]CF, one [[Nord 262]] and 18 [[Beechcraft Queen Air|Queen Air]]s; at this time, the company offered international scheduled services to [[Belgium]], [[Bulgaria]], [[Czechoslovakia]], [[Egypt]], [[France]], [[Germany]], [[Italy]], [[Yugoslavia]], [[Libya]], [[Romania]], [[Spain]], the [[United Kingdom|UK]], the [[USSR]] and [[Switzerland]], among other countries, as well as an extensive domestic network.<ref name="FI1980-271"/> In January 1981, the carrier ordered three [[Lockheed L-100 Hercules|Lockheed L-100-30]]s;<ref name="FI1981-211"/>{{#tag:ref|The carrier had previously operated the type, on lease from [[Southern Air Transport]].<ref name="FI1981-1393" />|group="nb"}} by late {{MONTHNAME|6}} the same year, the first of these aircraft was due to be delivered.<ref name="FI1981-1992" /> In November 1981, a Boeing 727-200 and a Boeing 737-200 were acquired.<ref name="FI1981-1541"/> Three Boeing 737-200s were ordered for {{US$|50|link=yes}}&nbsp;million in 1983.<ref name="FI1983-982"/> Air Algérie became [[Airbus]]' 48th customer when it placed an order for two [[Airbus A310]]s in 1984.<ref name="FI1984-1532"/> That year, a subsidiary called '''Inter Air Services''' (IAS) ({{langx|fr|Lignes Intérieures Algériennes}}), an airline that flew domestic and regional services using [[Fokker F-27]] aircraft, was formed.{{sfnp|Guttery|1998|p=15}} The IAS network was operated on Air Algéries's behalf, and at March 1985 included [[Adrar, Algeria|Adrar]], Algiers, [[Bechar]], [[Bordj Badji Mokhtar|Bordj B. Mokhtar]], [[Djanet]], [[El Golea]], [[Ghardaia]], [[Hassi Messaoud]], [[Illizi]], [[In Amenas]], [[In Salah]], Oran, [[Ouargla]], [[Tamanrasset]] and [[Timimoun]];<ref name="FI1985-86" /> by this time, Air Algérie had 6,788 employees.<ref name="FI1985-33" /> In 1989, the carrier ordered three [[Boeing 767-300]]s for {{US$|264|link=yes}}&nbsp;million.<ref name="FI1989-16" />

The first Boeing 767-300 was handed over by the aircraft manufacturer in mid-1990.<ref name="FI1990-9" /> That year, the carrier entered a process of restructuring that would last until 1995,<ref name="FI1993-20" /> following years of losses that totalled {{US$|64000000|1990}} only for 1990, with debts rising to {{US$|402}}&nbsp;million after a [[devaluation]] of the [[Algerian dinar|local currency]].<ref name="FI1991-11" /> Restructuring seemingly bore fruit, as the company made a profit of {{US$|14.5}}&nbsp;million in 1992.<ref name="FI1993-20" />
 
Air Algérie and [[Sonatrach]] created [[Tassili Airlines]] in 1998; Air Algérie's 49% shareholding in this airline was handed over to Sonatrach in 2005.<ref name="Algérie: Air Algérie se restructure" /><ref name="SONATRACH rachète les parts de AIR ALGERIE dans la compagnie aérienne TASSILI" />

The sales network comprises 150 [[travel agency|agencies]] in [[Algeria]] and abroad, linked to the booking system and distributed through GDS to which Air Algérie has subscribed.
Air Algérie is a Joint Stock Company (J.S.C) the registered capital of which is 43.000.000.000,00 DA.<ref>{{cite web |title=Arab Aviation > Algeria > Air Algerie |url=http://www.arabaviation.com/en-us/algeria/airalgerie.aspx |website=www.arabaviation.com |access-date=4 July 2023 |archive-date=2 June 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230602084532/http://arabaviation.com/en-us/algeria/airalgerie.aspx |url-status=live }}</ref>

==Accidents and incidents==

===Fatal===
* On 19 May 1960 at 9:46 [[Coordinated Universal Time|UTC]], a mid-air collision occurred {{cvt|8|mi|km}} away from Paris-Orly Airport, involving an Air Algérie [[Sud Aviation Caravelle]] jetliner ([[aircraft registration|registered]] F-OBNI) on a scheduled passenger flight from Algiers, and a privately owned [[Stampe SV.4]] [[biplane]] (F-BDEV). The Stampe was completely destroyed upon impact, killing the sole pilot on board. The impact and the propeller blades of the biplane tore open the cabin roof of the Caravelle, and both of its jet engines [[Flameout|flamed out]] due to ingested debris but were restarted almost immediately, allowing for a safe landing. There was one fatality amongst the 32 passengers and 7 crew members of the Air Algérie flight, and the aircraft was later repaired.<ref>[http://aviation-safety.net/database/record.php?id=19600519-0 1960 Air Algérie mid-air collision at the Aviation Safety Network] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120128232158/http://aviation-safety.net/database/record.php?id=19600519-0 |date=28 January 2012 }}.
