Boeing (Chicago) reached a major milestone with long-time customer Air Algerie (Algiers) this week when it delivered the 50th Boeing jetliner – a Next-Generation 737-800 – to the North African carrier. The 737 was the fourth of seven ordered in 2009. This delivery also marked the 40-year partnership between Boeing and Air Algerie.
Since receiving its first Boeing airplane in March 1971, Air Algerie has expanded to include 18 737s and three 767s.
