ALGIERS- Air Algérie, the national airline of Algeria, has launched a comprehensive review of its airfare prices in response to concerns raised by the public and stakeholders. The airline has established a special committee tasked with assessing ticket prices for popular destinations, with the goal of ensuring affordability while maintaining the company’s economic stability.
The committee, composed of officials from various departments including the commercial division, will conduct an in-depth analysis of ticket prices, focusing primarily on international routes. The two-month mandate includes evaluating current pricing structures, their alignment with market conditions, calculation methods, and potential adjustments. Should the committee find existing prices unjustified, reductions may be considered, with a specific focus on international flights.
This initiative, led by Air Algérie’s CEO Hamza Benhamouda, aims to address longstanding concerns about ticket affordability, especially for citizens traveling to and from Algeria. The company will also examine the price difference between tickets sold directly to customers and those sold through intermediaries, with the aim of minimizing additional costs for passengers.
Alongside the pricing review, Air Algérie’s management has engaged in discussions with stakeholders to address broader concerns about service quality and standards. These discussions include plans to enhance service offerings and provide discounts, particularly for members of the Algerian diaspora traveling between Algeria and France.
Air Algérie has faced criticism in recent years regarding its ticket prices, prompting calls for reductions and more frequent promotional offers. The airline’s willingness to reassess its pricing strategy reflects a commitment to improving accessibility and affordability for travelers, both domestically and internationally.
The potential reduction in airfare prices is expected to have several positive effects. It will promote domestic tourism, stimulate local economies across Algeria, and bolster the country’s appeal as a tourist destination. Additionally, increased affordability is likely to boost tourism revenues and diversify Algeria’s income sources. Moreover, the move will foster healthy competition among airlines, driving service improvements and enhancing the overall travel experience for passengers.
Air Algérie’s proactive approach to addressing public concerns and enhancing its services demonstrates its commitment to meeting the needs of travelers and supporting Algeria’s tourism sector.
