Romania’s outgoing Deputy Prime Minister has issued a stark warning that national airline Tarom is on a direct path to bankruptcy. The warning comes as the airline struggles with significant financial difficulties. The airline’s pilots’ union has strongly condemned the Deputy Prime Minister’s statement, labeling it “completely irresponsible.” The union argues the comments undermine confidence in the airline and its future. Details regarding the extent of Tarom’s financial woes were not immediately available, but the Deputy Prime Minister’s assessment paints a grim picture for the national carrier. The situation raises questions about the future of air travel within Romania and potential government intervention.
