TAROM

TAROM (Compania Națională de Transporturi Aeriene Române S.A.) is the national flag carrier of Romania, headquartered at Henri Coandă International Airport. It functions as a full-service scheduled airline, providing passenger transport and belly-hold cargo services across a network of domestic and international routes. Within the aerospace value chain, the organisation acts as an operator and maintenance provider, holding Part 145 certification for line and base maintenance tasks on several commercial narrow-body aircraft types. The airline operates a mixed fleet consisting of Boeing 737 Next Generation aircraft and ATR 72 turboprops, with historical and ongoing transitions involving Airbus A318 and Boeing 737 MAX commitments. As a long-standing member of the SkyTeam alliance, it maintains integrated code-share and technical partnerships with major European and global carriers. Its primary customer base consists of commercial travellers, government agencies, and freight forwarders requiring connectivity between South Eastern Europe and major hub airports. Prospective partners or suppliers should verify the organisation’s current fleet restructuring status and long-term financial recovery plans. It is essential to confirm specific technical certification scopes for its maintenance division, particularly regarding engine shop capabilities and specific airframe overhaul limits. Buyers of capacity should also review recent operational reliability metrics and the status of their standing environmental compliance certificates within the European Union Aviation Safety Agency framework.
