Algeria’s flagship carrier, Air Algérie is on the verge of bankruptcy due to corruption and inefficient leadership, Algerian media wrote.
The crisis hitting the carrier has prompted the government to inject 2 billion dollars to pay debt and acquire new aircrafts but the company remains crippled due to a lack of strategy and vision.
Air Algeria is also not doing enough to improve its services. Skytrax certified it with only a 2-star airline rating for the quality of its onboard product and staff service.
Algeria’s flag-carrier currently deploys 58 passenger planes: 25 Boeing 737-800s, two 737-700C convertibles, five 737-600s, three 767-300s, 12 ATR 72-500s, three ATR 72-600s and eight A330-200s.
