Question 6336 — overseas

Summary

Mr. Elie Califer draws the attention of the Minister Delegate to the Minister for Ecological Transition and Territorial Cohesion, responsible for transport, to the surge in prices affecting air connections between France and Guadeloupe and its consequences for students from the archipelago. After a cumulative increase of 21.8% over 2022, the passenger air transport price index shows an increase air fares of more than 49% in January 2023 for flights linking Guadeloupe to Paris. A few months before the summer university break, thousands of Guadeloupean students studying in mainland France are worried about their financial capacity to reunite with their families living on the archipelago. Thus, if the credits relating to territorial continuity carried by the overseas mission have experienced a favorable development and have been increased by parliamentary amendment, they remain dramatically underfunded in view of the inflationary fever which is hitting the price of plane tickets (which can now exceed the equivalent of a monthly minimum wage). Considering that the repercussion of the increase in fuel prices cannot, in itself, explain this price surge, the MP wishes to know the position of the Minister on the establishment of negotiations allowing a reduction in “fuel surcharges” unduly collected by airlines to compensate for the increase in the price of oil, security expenses and insurance premiums. He would also like to know the Minister's opinion on a revision of the resource threshold per tax share to benefit from the various continuity aids and on a change in the calculation of public continuity aids. territorially not in a lump sum manner (amount defined by regulation) but according to a support rate (aid therefore evolving according to the ticket prices observed). Finally, beyond the proposals he has made in favor of the establishment of an "overseas resident tariff", he wishes to have details of the initiatives carried out by the Ministry of Transport in favor of better regulation of airline ticket prices, a possible price capping and preservation of the purchasing power of overseas households.
