The remaining Boeing 737-600 aircraft are still operational, primarily under the airlines Air Algérie and Amentum leasing. Originally, 69 units were produced, but only eleven remain in active service. Air Algérie operates five of these aircraft as part of its diverse fleet, which includes Boeing 767s, Airbus A330s, and ATR-72s. The airline's hub is Houari Boumediene Airport in Algiers, serving a network that spans North America, the Middle East, Europe, and Africa.
Air Algérie transitioned to a limited private corporation in 1997 and initiated routes to Beijing in 2009 after opening flights to Montreal in 2007. As reported by Paul Hartley from Simple Flying, Air Algérie has plans for fleet renewal that may soon phase out the -600 models.
FPG Amentum manages the other six Boeing 737-600 aircraft. Based in Ireland, FPG Amentum is an independent aircraft lessor offering financing solutions for airlines worldwide. It provides used -600s sourced from Air China and China Southwest Airlines.
