New Seasonal Flights Connect Rotterdam with Tangier and Algiers
From October 28, 2025, until March 28, 2026, Rotterdam The Hague Airport will operate two seasonal routes connecting directly to Tangier in Morocco and Algiers in Algeria. The new routes are intended to allow winter travel without stopovers in other European cities. These seasonal flights provide travelers from the Netherlands with direct winter connections to North African cities.
Passengers can consult schedules and details for the upcoming routes. Details of the New Routes:
- Air Arabia Maroc: flights to Tangier three times per week (Tuesdays, Fridays, Saturdays) using an Airbus A320 with 174 seats.
- Air Algérie: flights to Algiers twice per week (Tuesdays, Saturdays) on a Boeing 737-600 with 102 seats.
- Ticket Availability: bookings are possible via the airlines’ websites and Rotterdam The Hague Airport’s official platform.
The Tangier route allows passengers to reach several notable locations. Travelers can visit Plage Municipale for coastal views, explore the historic Kasbah of Tangier, or go to Cap Spartel for panoramic scenery. The frequency of flights provides options for different lengths of stay, and direct connections reduce the need for additional travel arrangements through other airports.
Air services to Algiers connect passengers to notable parts of the city. Travelers may stroll along Boulevard de la Corniche, take in the cityscape from Place du 1er Novembre, or explore Jardin d’Essai (Botanical Garden Hamma). Regular services allow travelers to plan visits to these locations without adjusting for long layovers or uncertain schedules. These connections provide consistency for winter travel planning.
The introduction of the Tangier and Algiers routes increases the number of direct winter connections from Rotterdam. For passengers, this development affects planning by providing clearly scheduled services and access to multiple destinations without additional transfers. It allows travelers to organize trips around specific points of interest and gives a reliable overview of available winter travel options from the airport.
