History
It was in the early 2010s that the idea of creating a station at Algiers Airport came to fruition. The establishment of this railway line aimed to facilitate the mobility of travelers from the center of Algiers to the airport, thereby offering a new solution for passengers leaving the airport to reach various cities connected to the regional and national railway network.

The Airport station is located between Terminal 1 and Terminal 2 of the airport. It is approximately a 5-minute walk from Terminal 4.

Access to the station can be done directly from the airport, as well as through the car park of Terminal 4 and Terminals 1 and 2.

Service
The station is served by trains from the suburban rail network of Algiers, with the terminus at Agha station in Algiers.

The trains connect Algiers to the airport in 20 minutes, with 34 journeys per day from 5:00 AM to 9:05 PM departing from Agha station, and from 5:30 AM to 9:35 PM from the airport. The fare for this journey is 80 DZA for adults and 40 DZA for children.

The station is served by lines 39 and 100 of the ETUSA network.
