Aigle Azur considers Algeria as a banana republic

...We are a French company and we go wherever we want,... replied Mr. Idjerouidène to a question on the website ...all about Algeria....

• The French airline company “Aigle Azur” which made very important business turnover in Algeria, organised trips to Israel in defiance of the Algerian authorities position; who had put all means at its disposal.
  
  According to the French CEO of the company Aigle Azur, of Algerian origin “Arezki Idjerouiden,” the company services to Israel “We are a French company and we go wherever we want”, in a statement on the website “all about Algeria” defying the Algerian authorities who entertain no relations with Tel Aviv.
  
  Aigle Azur makes a large part of turnover on destination of Algeria and did not hesitate to organise trips to Israel, a country that Algeria does not recognize and with which it has no relation. “We are a French company and we go where we want,” replied Mr. Idjerouidène to a question from the site is all about Algeria.
  
  The RCD party has intervened in order to find a solution to the problem between the French Ministry of Transport who accuses Aigle Azur to have lied about the situation and takes in hostage hundreds of passengers. The intervention of the RCD, who have supported Aigle Azur denouncing the attitude of the Algerian authorities, did not help matters. Just as the words of CEO Aigle Azur reported by some newspapers have displeased as judged contrary to the truth.
  
  For the Ministry, things are clear: the hundreds of passengers stranded in Paris are victims of “unauthorized flights marketed by Aigle Azur, putting the Civil Aviation Authority of Algeria with a fait accompli. “The French airline Aigle Azur has still not provided a clear explanation of its decision to sell tickets without obtaining permission of the Algerian side. “Clearly, this company considers Algeria as a (banana republic),” says an official of the Algerian civil aviation. This episode could affect the future of the French company in Algeria.”
  
  Finally, at the top of the Algerian state, some believe that the privileged position of Aigle Azur threatens the future of Air Algeria. The public company, which also provides a public service mission and employs thousands of Algerians, is strongly contested by Aigle Azur on the only profitable line between France and Algeria: Algiers-Paris. “It is time to bring order,” a senior official to says on the website “All about Algeria”.
  
  
  An ambiguity! If the company Aigle Azur is a French company and can go wherever it wants, in this case, how come that the CEO of Aigle Azur is part of the Executive Committee of the Forum of Heads of Enterprises (CFE), an organization Patron 100% Algerian. This ambiguity may turn against him. In (CFE), they said that they ignore the existence of such a service.
  
  Aigle Azur has successfully concluded a major contract with the Ministry of Tourism and the environment, reducing the price of tickets at 50% for tourists wishing to visit Algeria. It's as if Air Algeria had become a foreign company in Algeria!
