This company was successful in competing with other groups, especially ATR France branch. The Canadian company will provide the aerial fleet of the company with a number of plans that will allow it to guarantee medium aerial trips, especially in petrol and gas spots, and the strategic region of the south.

Tassili Airlines was created in 1997 and starts to be operational in April 1999 with the covering of trips between Hassi Messaoud and Algiers and Hassi R’mel. The company was owned by Sonatrach from 2005 where Sonatrach and Algerian Airlines, “Air Algérie”, made a deal where the latter will give up 49% to the former which is now the complete owner of the company.

The new equipment operation that was attributed to the Canadian company comes after this very company equipped the Algerian airlines company in the context of its renewal of its fleet where it was provided with 8 planes in parallel with the company promoting several products , knowing that Tassili airlines has booked 4 plans before the special bidding.
