“The company’s management has been trying several times to get that right, sent many letters to the Russian government in respect, and tried to contact them through the Transport Ministry and Foreign Affairs Ministry. They even had several meetings with the Russian ambassador to Bucharest. He offered no answer from Moscow,” Tarom sources stated.
In March 2014, authorities announced that Tarom will resume flights to China in August and that flights to China will be direct, with no stopovers, and will last nine hours.
Tarom stopped covering the Bucharest-Beijing route in 2003 for financial reasons.
Tarom was founded in 1954 and operates over 50 destinations. It has a fleet of 23 Airbus, Boeing and ATR aircrafts, out of which more than half are over 20 years old.
In 2015, Tarom expects RON8 million losses and revenues of RON1.53 billion.
The company employs nearly 2,000 employees.
