“We are definitely expecting a challenging period”, Marius Popescu, Tarom spokesperson, told ZF.

In summer, Tarom operated at a 60% flight capacity against the 2019 season, with a mix of charter and regular flights.

“We are unfortunately still coping with the pandemic fallout. However, we are still hoping demand will rebound toward 70% of a normal year”, adds Marius Popescu.

Tarom ended 2020 with turnover worth RON355 million, down almost 74% year-on-year, but losses more than doubled, to RON439 million.
