Houari Boumediene Airport, also known as Algiers Airport or Algiers International Airport, stands as the principal international gateway to Algiers, the capital of Algeria. Located approximately 10.5 miles east-southeast of the city, this airport bears the name of Houari Boumediene, a former Algerian president. Its roots trace back to 1924 when it was initially known as Maison Blanche Airport. During World War II, Maison Blanche Airport played a crucial role, as it was seized by Allied forces in 1942, marking an essential milestone in the region’s history. The airport’s operations are managed and overseen by the SGSIA (Société de Gestion des Services et Infrastructures Aéroportuaires), often referred to as the ‘Airport of Algiers,’ a public company established in 2006.
The history of this airport is closely linked to significant events, notably its capture during World War II, when it served as a critical objective for the Allied Operation Torch Eastern Task Force. It was seized through a collaborative effort by United States Army units, British Commandos, and elements of a British Infantry Division, eventually leading to the cessation of hostilities in North Africa. The airport served as a vital hub for the United States Army Air Forces Air Transport Command during the war, facilitating cargo and personnel transportation, transshipment, and functioning as a stopover for the North African Cairo-Dakar transport route.
Today, Houari Boumediene Airport not only connects Algiers with the world but also stands as a testament to its historical significance, having played a part in key events of World War II and the broader North African theatre of operations.
