ROTTERDAM, 14 November 2025 – Direct flights from Rotterdam to Tangier and Algiers are being added to the timetable at Rotterdam The Hague Airport. The new services give residents, visitors and the diaspora community extra options for travelling between the Maasstad and North Africa.
New North African routes from Rotterdam
Two airlines are introducing direct connections between Rotterdam and the Mediterranean coast. From this season, Tangier in Morocco and Algiers in Algeria will be served several times per week from Rotterdam The Hague Airport.
Air Arabia will operate three weekly flights between Rotterdam and Tangier, on Tuesdays, Fridays and Saturdays. Tangier offers a mix of historic districts, coastal views and a long-standing link between Europe and North Africa, making it a practical gateway for both family visits and short city breaks.
Flight schedule and booking information
Algiers will be connected to Rotterdam by Air Algérie, with flights on Tuesdays and Saturdays. As the capital of Algeria, Algiers combines historic neighbourhoods, Mediterranean harbour views and a varied urban landscape, which may appeal to travellers interested in exploring the wider region or visiting relatives.
According to the current schedule, the flights to both Tangier and Algiers are planned up to and including 28 March 2026. Tickets can be booked via the websites of Air Arabia and Air Algérie, or through the booking section of Rotterdam The Hague Airport, giving passengers the option to organise their trip directly online.
How to get to Rotterdam The Hague Airport
Rotterdam The Hague Airport is located to the north-west of the city centre, close to the Overschie district and near the A13 motorway towards The Hague. The terminal can be reached by car via Rotterdam Airportplein, with parking facilities next to the terminal, and by public transport using bus services that connect the airport with Meijersplein metro station and the wider RET network.
For many Rotterdam residents, the airport is within a short drive, cycle ride or combined bus and metro journey, which may make early morning or late evening departures to Tangier and Algiers easier to fit into daily routines.
