AF to restart flight to Algiers

Following the demise of Air Lib, AF will probably restart flights to Algiers on June 28th, with two daily flights.

Starting March 26th, 2006, with the summer season schedule, AF is reintroducing a daily flight from CDG to ALG, operated with an A320, from CDG2B. An ORY-ORA flight is also planned for 2007.

I thought they would never fly there, after the hijacking?

They resumed the flights to Algiers quite a long time ago now (2003 or even before).

2 daily flights from ORY (AF's domestic hub).
1 daily flight from MRS.

The CDG-ALG (AF3548) makes sense, especially at 11:10. LH serves FRA-ALG with an abominable 03:40 AM return (duration: 2h45. Aircraft: B737).

I flew 5 or 6 returns last year and the flights were always full (especially on Saturdays and Wednesdays).

Aircrafts never stay in Algiers overnight and crew does not exit the plane. Additionally, there are 3 AF security guys on every flights
