On internal flights, the company will carry 500,000 passengers, according to Heinzmann.
Asked by ZF whether he is satisfied with the passenger traffic figures, Tarom head said better figures could have been obtained if flights to Beijing had been launched.
As regards financial figures, he did not disclose them, saying they are not ready, yet.
The target included in the management plan is for Tarom to annually add 100,000 persons to its number of passengers and reach 2.6 million passengers in 2016. The target was not reached this year, though.
Tarom carried only 2.1 million passengers, from 2.19 million persons in 2012. Moreover, the management plan stipulated losses of RON143 million last year, of RON18 million in 2014 and in 2015 and 2016 the company should generate profit.
Last year, the company’s total revenue amounted to RON1.2 billion (EUR272 million), relatively flat from the previous year. Tarom cut losses by 44%, to RON130 million (EUR30 million).
