The government proposed by Prime Minister-designate Luca Niculescu intends to launch a transparent and competitive procedure in 2027 to attract a strategic investor to TAROM, according to the government program. The investor could acquire a minority stake of 20%-49% or even a majority stake.

The procedure is conditional on the appointment of professional management and demonstrating the company’s viability by December 31, 2026. This objective is necessary to safeguard the state aid worth €95.3 million approved for the airline. The government says it will support the revised two-year business plan before the European Commission.

The plan provides for maintaining technical maintenance operations and essential domestic routes through competitively awarded public service obligations.

Separately, the future Executive proposes establishing a National Aeronautical Group, modeled on ROMARM. TAROM Tehnic, ROMAERO, IAR Ghimbav, and Avioane Craiova would be brought together under a common governance structure for civilian and military maintenance and production activities. The program does not specify the timeframe for its establishment, its legal form, or the companies’ stakes in the new structure.

Context: TAROM a intrat sub presiunea Comisiei Europene, iar planul de restructurare a fost revizuit după avertismente privind ajutorul de stat

Înainte de anunțul privind procedura pentru atragerea unui investitor strategic, autoritățile au transmis că TAROM trebuie să își demonstreze viabilitatea în cadrul planului de restructurare. Ministrul interimar al Transporturilor, Radu Miruță, a spus că compania va informa Comisia Europeană despre întârzieri și va transmite un plan revizuit bazat pe date financiare reale, cu pași stabiliți pe termen scurt și mediu.

Totodată, Miruță a avertizat că, dacă până la finalul anului 2026 TAROM nu va reuși să arate că planul este viabil, Comisia Europeană poate solicita României returnarea ajutorului de stat. În acest context, el a criticat conducerea anterioară pentru nerespectarea angajamentelor și a legat revizuirea planului de necesitatea unor indicatori financiari reali.

În paralel, TAROM a fost implicată într-o discuție publică despre privatizare și menținerea legăturilor interne prin contracte de serviciu public. În același timp, Wizz Air a anunțat că ar dori să preia rețeaua internă, însă compania națională a respins propunerea, invocând caracterul nerealist și probleme legate de capacitatea pentru curse interne.
