Algeria's flag carrier has launched flights to Nigeria's capital in a move expected to boost links between north and West Africa.
Abuja becomes the 25th African destination served by Air Algeria.
The airline also plans to launch flights to Addis Ababa, Gabon's Libreville, and N'Djamena of Chad.
It is also eyeing new routes to Europe, North America, and China.
