Things at the helm of the largest airline carrier on the Romanian market, Tarom, are uncertain, with the change of the air operator's general manager being discussed for over a month, without an official decision being made.
A few weeks ago, UDMR (Democratic Alliance of Hungarians in Romania), the party entitled to appoint the management of the state-held airline Tarom, chose Gombos Csaba for general manager, who used to run the operations of electrical wiring manufacturer Romcab Targu-Mures.
However, Transport Minister Radu Berceanu has not approved his appointment yet.
These plans to change the management of the air company come at a time when the business of the airline is affected by the decline in traffic and in the wake of a disastrous 2009 for Tarom, with losses put at 21 million euros and 260 million-euro revenues, under the term of Ruxandra Brutaru, 29.
"Any change at the helm of companies within the Ministry of Transport and Infrastructure will be announced officially. At present, Ruxandra Brutaru is general manager of Tarom," Radu Berceanu, Transport Minister, told ZF.
