Algiers airport fees: what you pay at ALG
Passengers flying out of Algiers pay their charges inside the ticket. The 2025 Finance Law set a fee for the civil aviation agency ANAC of 400 DA per international departure from Algiers and 100 DA per domestic departure, collected by airlines. A 2008 decree set the airport passenger charge at 900 DA for international departures from Algiers and 400 DA for domestic ones. We could not confirm whether that 2008 rate has changed, so treat it as unconfirmed.
