Tassili Airlines
Domestic Airlines (Arabic: ?????? ?????? ????????) formerly Tassili Airlines (Arabic: ????? ????????), is an Algerian passenger airline based in Algiers. Following a strategic restructuring in 2025, it operates as a wholly owned subsidiary of Air Algérie, the flag carrier of Algeria. Originally founded in 1998 to serve the Algerian oil industry, operating charter and shuttle services domestically and internationally. The airline eventually transitioned to a scheduled carrier. Following its acquisition by Air Algérie in June 2025, it was rebranded as Domestic Airlines to serve as the group's regional and domestic specialist arm.
Key facts
History
Domestic Airlines was established on 4 March 1998, as a joint venture between Air Algérie (49%) and the state oil company Sonatrach (51%). Commercial services were launched on 8 April 1999, with a flight from Hassi Messaoud to Algiers. In April 2005, Air Algérie sold 25% of its shares in the airline, Sonatrach thus becoming the majority shareholder.
Domestic Airlines became a member of AFRAA in 2014, while continuing to expand its regional and international route network.
On 19 June 2025, the Algerian government facilitated a transfer of ownership, moving 100% of the airline's shares to Air Algérie from Sonatrach Holdings. The move was intended to streamline the national aviation sector. Prior to its restructuring and acquisition by Air Algérie, Domestic Airlines operated a diverse portfolio that included specialized aerial work, medical evacuation, and agricultural services through its wholly owned subsidiary, Tassili Travail Aérien (TTA).
On 3 July 2025, Air Algérie unveiled the new visual identity of the airline, along with announcing that it would be renamed Domestic Airlines. Its primary focus would be shifting to domestic commercial routes to alleviate pressure on the mainline Air Algérie fleet. Domestic Airlines conducted its inaugural flight on 22 August 2025, followed by the full commencement of scheduled commercial services on 25 August 2025.
