Raise a glass to Khalifa Airways, the Algiers-based passenger and cargo carrier that flew from 1999 to 2003. This pint glass brings a little turn-of-the-century aviation history to the kitchen, home bar, or collector shelf. Its design honors an airline remembered for linking Algerian cities with destinations across Europe, Africa, and the Middle East. A fitting everyday piece for aviation enthusiasts and admirers of distinctive Algerian corporate history.
Khalifa Airways was an Algerian passenger and cargo airline based in Algiers. Founded by Rafik Khalifa in June 1999, it received government authorisation to launch services in August 1999 and began operations that same month. Its network linked destinations within Algeria with international services in Africa, Europe and the Middle East. Late in 1999, the airline leased a Boeing 737-400 from Pegasus Airlines. In 2001, Khalifa Airways placed orders for three Airbus A340-300 aircraft, five A330-200 aircraft and ten A320 aircraft, with deliveries scheduled for 2004. The carrier also sponsored Olympique de Marseille from 2001 to 2003. Its operating life ended in 2003: a French court liquidated the airline on 10 July after it failed to make a 5 million euro payment to creditors. The company is remembered as a short-lived airline from Algeria’s expanding late-1990s aviation scene, with a route network spanning domestic Algerian cities and selected European destinations.
A sturdy 16oz pint glass that brings a little roadhouse spirit to everyday pours. The clear tempered glass showcases whatever you fill it with — amber beer, cold brew, or fresh juice — while a bold vintage-inspired script wraps the side for a subtle, nostalgic touch. It feels solid in the hand, resists everyday wear, and pairs easily with bar carts, kitchen counters, or a laid-back backyard table. Wash gently by hand to keep the lettering sharp and the glass crystal-clear. Built from tempered materials and assembled in the USA, this glass fits into evenings spent swapping stories, weekend morning routines, or those slow, quiet moments when a simple drink matters.
