Algerian air travel: technical updates planned for passenger fees in 2027

The 2027 Finance Bill proposes adjustments to the payment procedures for the passenger rights protection fee, which funds the National Civil Aviation Agency. These changes do not include any increase in the rates established in the 2025 legislation. The primary objective is to resolve technical challenges related to the integration of these fees into global airline reservation systems, requiring coordination with IATA and Air Algérie. To account for the time needed to update distribution software, the legislation sets the effective application date as February 1st, 2025, rather than the initial January target, ensuring a smoother implementation process for all airlines operating from Algerian airports.
