Tarom, short for Romanian Air Transport, reports enormous growth
figures. Meanwhile more than a million passengers are yearly transported on
international and national routes through this state-run Romanian airline (97%
are owned by the ministry of transport). Tarom aims for the business traveller
rather than the Black Sea tourist. Since 1990 it is orientated towards the
constant growing East-West-Market 'with the Eastern business centre
Bucharest'.
Last year Tarom was admitted to the Association of European
Airlines (AEA) as their 28th member and is now obviously trying to get rid of
its "dirty" image. Tarom receives EU-money and co-operates with Lufthansa in
consulting programmes. They rely on Western jets for their fleet of now 21
planes. 'Comfort, Safety and Style' are emphasised and frequent travellers can
expect 'Smart Miles' benefits.
In their magazine 'Insight' Tarom
celebrates the 'dialogue' with their passengers. There is not yet an e-mail
address but there are two websites: http://tarom.digiro.net/ and http://www.tarom-online.de/ (in
German).
Tarom has offices in Berlin, Frankfurt and Düsseldorf and
agencies in Munich and Stuttgart. Besides the Tuesday charter flights from
Düsseldorf are predictable ...
