Algerian Immigrants Are Fed Up of Air Algérie High Ticket Prices

Coordination of Anti-Expensive Transportation Tickets Towards Algeria condemned the doubts of the Transport Minister, Boujemaa Talei, in the patriotism of Algerian community abroad, asserting that they are Algerians, despite the distance, and have the right to call for lowering the tickets prices, and breaking the monopoly of Air Algérie.

Coordination said, in a statement on Tuesday, that the Transport Minister, which followed their announcement to protest in front of the headquarters of Air Algérie, due to the high cost of tickets, and then announced that this assembly is subject to the French law, is not entitled to intervene in Algerian affairs, adding that it is to discredit the Algerian community who are only exploited by politicians in the elections or in the soccer players.

“We are Algerians and we will remain Algerians, whatever we moved away, and what we are living is caused by unemployment, bureaucracy, and mismanagement in sectors including transportation.”

“Algerian immigrants are the sons of the overwhelming majority of political officials and Algerian military personnel, and retired ministers. An official should solve a problem and not declare in the media that the Algerian Immigrants’ Associations are French”.

“Is it rational that they share the majority of lines and airports with the French company Aigle Azur, and agree with it to raise prices on the back of the Algerians, and you know that it paid taxes to the French treasury?” 

“French company proposes tickets to Portugal, which is farthest than Algeria, which is one-third of the ticket to Algeria from France.”
