Ponta on Wednesday required Manescu to help Tarom resume flights to China, which were halted in 2003.
Manescu said she discussed the issue with the airline and there is the possibility of introducing two weekly flights.
In July this year, when Ponta said he wished Tarom had direct flights to China, the company’s manager at the time, Nicolae Demetriade, said the airline was unable to introduce direct flights to Beijing using its current fleet.
However, Tarom said it has three written requests from Chinese airlines who want to cover the Bucharest route.
