  "account": "Hamad International Airport (HIA) announced that Air Algerie has resumed nonstop flights between Doha and Algiers, bolstering the airport's global air connectivity network. HIA's official X account stated that the return of Air Algerie's service would enhance international travel options, emphasizing that the direct route offers travelers a convenient choice between the two capitals. This addition brings the total number of partner airlines operating through the airport to 37, complementing Qatar Airways and linking Doha to over 160 destinations worldwide. The resumption follows a seven-month hiatus due to weather challenges and safety concerns in the region. Air Algerie had previously initiated scheduled nonstop flights to Doha in the summer of 2022, initially with two weekly services. Currently, the route operates three flights per week, with plans to increase to daily service by October 25 to accommodate rising demand. This route marks Air Algerie's 45th international destination, supporting Hamad International Airport's ongoing growth as a leading global hub for opportunities, air connectivity, tourism, and economic exchange between Qatar and Algeria.",
