Air Algérie (AH, Algiers) has issued a new Request for Proposals (RFP) for the dry lease of six A330s and four B737s, following the failure a previous tender earlier this year.

The state-owned airline is looking for A330-200s or A330-300s with General Electric CF6-80E engines, or A330-900s (which are exclusively powered by Rolls-Royce Trent 7000 engines). In terms of the narrowbodies, Air Algérie is open to dry leasing B737-800s, B737-900ERs, or B737-9s.

Tender documents seen by ch-aviation do not specify any further requirements. While Air Algérie did not respond to ch-aviation's request for more detailed specifications, its previous attempt at sourcing dry-leased aircraft entailed four A330ceo, two A330neo, two B737-800s, and two B737-9s.

The carrier's plan to dry lease ten aircraft is independent of its orders with manufacturers including eight B737-9s from Boeing (BOE, Washington National) as well as five A330-900s and two A350-1000s from Airbus (AIB, Toulouse Blagnac).

The ch-aviation fleets module shows the airline's current fleet comprises eight A330-200s, twelve ATR72-500s, three ATR72-600s, five B737-600s, two B737-700(C)s, twenty-four B737-800s, and one B737-800(BCF).
