Services

Available On request / PPR Seasonal / ageing Unconfirmed / not listed
Ground handling Available
GO (Ground Operations)
Air Algérie Group's dedicated ground-handling subsidiary, named "GO" (Ground Operations), launched 16 February 2026 as part of the group's transformation into a holding-company structure, specialising in ground services (check-in, boarding, baggage load/unload, turnaround coordination) for Air Algérie Group flights at its ALG hub. The originally drafted name "AH Ground Operations (AHGO)", 1 May 2026 launch date, and a claimed transfer from a "Domestic Airlines" ground-handling unit under a 1 June 2026 framework agreement could not be confirmed and appear incorrect — Domestic Airlines is a separate Air Algérie subsidiary that operates domestic flights, not a ground-handling unit.
