On August 3, an Air Algérie Boeing 737-800 (registered 7T-VKJ) operated flight AH1087 between Paris CDG, France, and Tlemcen, Algeria. After landing at Tlemcen, the aircraft hit a light pole and damaged its right winglet.

Mechanics were able to install a new winglet and on 5 August, the aircraft returned into service by operating a rotation between Algiers and Paris CDG.

Working for 25 years in the aviation industry, I changed my career and became a firefighter/EMT in 2021. I like to spend my free time with my two sons, girlfriend, family and friends. I love to travel, wine and dine and support my favourite football squad KV Mechelen. Once an Ironman 70.3 finisher and dreaming of completing a full distance.
