Bucharest, March 1. In light of the tense situation in the Middle East, the Romanian National Air Transport Company TAROM is prepared to organize special flights to bring Romanian citizens out of the conflict zone.
Once approval has been obtained from the Egyptian authorities to operate special flights between Cairo and Bucharest, over 360 Romanians will be able to arrive at Otopeni airport tomorrow morning.
TAROM teams are working in direct coordination with the Ministry of Transport and Infrastructure and other national authorities, who are in constant contact with Romania’s diplomatic representatives in the countries of the region.
TAROM staff are also in contact with representatives of groups of Romanian citizens in the area, including the group of pilgrims caught in Bethlehem at the start of the conflict, who are travelling by road to Cairo today to board the flight to Bucharest.
Six professionals make up the crew of the first TAROM special flight from Cairo, supported on the ground by the company’s commercial, operational, and technical teams, mobilized to safely carry out this repatriation mission.
