Algerian national carrier Air Algérie has launched a new promotional fare offer for flights to various European and North African destinations. The offer, which began on October 29 and will run until November 30, applies to return economy-class tickets. The promotional fares vary by route, with a ticket from Algiers to London (Heathrow) available from 55,064 dinars and a ticket from Algiers to Geneva from 38,810 dinars.

The promotional offer includes several European destinations, such as Brussels, Lisbon, and Vienna, with fares starting from 39,696 dinars, 38,648 dinars, and 34,341 dinars, respectively. Additionally, Air Algérie is offering discounted fares on routes within Algeria, including Biskra-Lyon from 35,500 dinars and Tlemcen-Marseille from 35,000 dinars. The offer also extends to North African destinations, with a ticket from Algiers to Tunis available from 27,000 dinars and a ticket from Algiers to Cairo from 53,000 dinars.

The promotional offer does not, however, include flights to Paris, which typically see high demand. A ticket from Algiers to Paris is available at the regular fare of 64,657 dinars, with prices potentially exceeding 80,000 dinars depending on the travel dates. In contrast, Air Algérie is offering a ticket from Algiers to Johannesburg for 61,232 dinars in economy class and 246,132 dinars in business class.

Air Algérie's offer also includes flights to other African destinations, such as Abidjan and Addis Ababa. A ticket from Algiers to Abidjan is available for 72,350 dinars in economy class and 180,150 dinars in business class. Meanwhile, a ticket from Algiers to Addis Ababa costs 99,435 dinars in economy class and 193,077 dinars in business class.

The new promotional offer is part of Air Algérie's efforts to attract more customers and stimulate demand for air travel. The airline has been working to expand its network and improve its services in recent years. According to reports, the Algerian government has been supportive of the airline's efforts to increase its presence in the region.

Industry analysts have noted that the promotional offer is likely to be well-received by customers, particularly those traveling for leisure or business. The offer is also expected to help Air Algérie remain competitive in a crowded market. The airline faces competition from other carriers, including European airlines that have increased their presence in the Algerian market.

Air Algérie's new promotional offer will run until November 30, giving customers several weeks to take advantage of the discounted fares. The airline has not announced any plans to extend the offer or introduce new promotions in the near future. Customers can book their flights through Air Algérie's website or through authorized travel agents.
