The ministry is currently examining the files of Algerian companies that have already invested in various sectors and now wish to expand their activities into air transport. According to the Minister, these files must meet all regulatory requirements and secure adequate financing to be successful.

Mr Zahana also stressed his ministry's commitment to helping these operators complete their files and implement their projects.

Concerning maritime transport, the Minister announced that a private company is preparing to launch passenger transport services to complement those already provided by Algérie Ferries. This initiative could offer travellers an additional option for their sea journeys.

These initiatives mark a new departure in the government's strategy of opening up the transport sector to private initiatives to boost supply and diversify users' services.
