TAROM has requested the government to allocate a new tranche of 114 million lei from the budget reserve fund for the year 2025, as part of the previously approved state restructuring aid.

The amount represents the second and last tranche of a state aid of over 226 million lei approved in April 2024; the first tranche of just over 112 million lei was transferred in the period 2023-2024. The funds are intended to support the increase of the company's share capital, in order to stabilize operational and financial aspects, so that by 2026 the recovery plan can continue. Although the allocations are legal (in urgent/unforeseen cases) according to the law, they increase pressure on an already high-deficit budget and reflect the dependence of state companies on government support. The draft decision was initially put out for public consultation for 7 days, until November 6, but the deadline was extended until November 10.
