Cheap TAROM - Romanian Air Transport Flights (RO)
Overview
TAROM Romanian Air Transport is the flag carrier and the oldest currently operating airline of Romania. The airline is providing special airfares, including low-cost tickets and operates cheap domestic and international flights to 54 destinations in Europe, Africa and the Middle East.
TAROM was established on September 18, 1954, but dates its origins in far 1920. Until World War II, the airline was known under different names: first as CFRNA (French-Romanian Company for Air Navigation), later SNNA (The National Air Navigation Service), than LARES (Romanian Air Line State Run) and finally SARTA (The Anonym Romanian Association of Air Transport).
Some years after its foundation, the airline already operated to almost all European countries. Soon, in 1966, TAROM did its first flight across Atlantic. That meant for the company a successful beginning. Thus, in 1974, it started operating scheduled flights to Beijing and New York.
The airline's main hub is located at Henri Coandă International Airport (OTP) which is formerly known as Otopeni Airport. With 26 aircraft, TAROM's fleet is the largest among the Romanian airlines. TAROM is owned by the Romanian Government (Ministry of Transport) with 95%, making the company somehow responsible of satisfying every passenger's needs, offering a range of cheap flights and low-budget tickets to such directions as London, Cairo, Moscow, Milano, Paris, and other destinations.
In 1990, TAROM has passed through a difficult period. By that time, the Romanian Air Transport had a loss of $68 million. Nevertheless, ten years later the airline initiated a program that was aimed to restoring its profitability. This was achieved by terminating loss-making intercontinental services.
The Romanian flag carrier has been a member of the International Air Transport Association (IATA) since 1993 and of the Association of European Airlines (AEA) since 2000. On June 25, 2010 the airline joined SkyTeam, the second biggest global alliance providing customers an extensive global network, being the 13th alliance member.
Today, TAROM is operating on 50 own destinations as well as destinations operated by its code share partners. The airline serves also cheap flights on 54 destinations in 26 countries (Europe, Middle East and northern Africa) including 12 domestic destinations. Currently, TAROM is number one company which provides Romanian people great airline deals, offering them the possibility to benefit of its low-cost tickets by traveling cheap flights to one or more of the purposed destinations.
