The Madrid-Algiers line is being opened on Sunday (January 7th) by Spanish Iberia Airlines, as an answer to the growing demand for connections between Algeria and Spain due to increasing economic relations. A delegation of Spanish companies, led by State Secretary for Tourism and Trade Pedro Mejia, will kick off a visit to Algeria on Tuesday for the inauguration of the line, the Spanish Confederation of Employer Organisations (CEOE) announced Friday. The group will also attend a seminar on the investment opportunities in Algeria.
