Tassili Airlines is an Algerian passenger airline, based in Algiers, owned by Sonatrach, the national state-owned oil company of Algeria.
History[]
Tassili Airlines was originally established in 1998 as a joint venture between Air Algérie (49%) and the Sonatrach company (51%), both of which are government-owned. Commercial services were launched on 8 April 1999, with a flight from Hassi Messaoud to Algiers.
In April 2005, Air Algérie withdrew its funds in the airline, which thus became wholly owned by Sonatrach.
Tassili Airlines became a member of AFRAA in 2014, since when it has continued its expansion of regional and international routes.
