On May 19, the government announced the new flight schedule. But in the hope of finally being able to launch sales completely, prices are for the moment at the mercy of the airlines that serve Algeria.
Tough competition between low-cost companies operating from France
Since companies operating from France have entered the market, competition is in full swing. And the price battle is on, as far as the destination for Algeria is concerned. The flights have finally resumed, of course, but the prices are still considerable. Which is not at all to the tastes of travelers, who were hoping to see prices drop with so much competition.
Moreover, Internet users are starting to talk on social networks. The surge in prices that has been observed in recent days has angered travelers. They wonder about their return to their country.
But while waiting to see the sales being launched, tourists and nationals expect promotions at the level of the various companies. Indeed, they should use different strategies to attract the most customers.
A strategy already underway at Transavia
The prices of flights in Algeria now concern only Algérie Ferries and Air Algerie. Now, companies operating from France are setting the tone. We cite among them, the company Transavia which offers cheaper prices than Air France.
In fact, the company displays tickets at the price of 549 € for Paris-Algiers and 188 € for Paris-Djerba. Admittedly, this price is still high, but by comparing it with the Air France company, you can see the price difference. A price difference that can go up to 200 € . Which is still very interesting when preparing for your trip if you have no choice!
Many Internet users clearly state their annoyance at these high prices. Although it must be remembered that the law of supply and demand controls the majority of the flight market.
This is how several price comparators are born, vis-à-vis Tunisia and Morocco. On October 3, for example, a big difference is emerging in prices. Among other things, planning a return trip between France and Algeria from Paris costs €549. When, for the same day, it takes only €188 for a round trip from Paris to Djerba.
Therefore, it is sometimes more interesting for some Algerians to go through Tunisia and then cross the border.
