The stress of a cancellation at Henri Coand? International Airport towards Larnaca with Tarom gives you a right to a payout. Here are the steps you can take.
Leaving Henri Coand? International Airport, you are covered by European legislation. The distance of 1 255 km sets the tier of your legal indemnity. The first tier (≤1500 km) applies.
Why are you entitled to 250 €?
The European Regulation EC 261/2004 is very strict regarding air passenger rights. The amount of fixed compensation does not depend on the price of your ticket, but only on the flight distance.
Details of your right to compensation
- Departure airport: Henri Coand? International Airport (OTP)
- Arrival airport: Larnaca International Airport (LCA)
- Flight distance: 1 255 km (~1h34)
- Applicable compensation: 250 €
Since the Sturgeon ruling of 2009, delays over 3 hours are treated the same as cancellations regarding payout entitlement. This greatly broadened the scope of the regulation.
How to know if the flight Tarom Bucharest - Larnaca is eligible?
Your eligibility rests on objective criteria. Air traffic logs will verify the precise moment of actual arrival at Larnaca International Airport.
Watch out for traps: Tarom might try to have you sign a waiver. Don't accept anything before checking with a legal professional.
What are the conditions for Tarom to compensate you?
-
Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Larnaca.
-
Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
-
Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Bucharest airport.
-
Airline responsibility: The problem must be attributable to Tarom (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).
Warning: Extraordinary circumstances (extreme weather preventing takeoff from Bucharest, air traffic controllers' strike, political instability) exempt the airline from its obligation to compensate.
The impact of a strike on your Tarom compensation
Not all strike{s} exempt the airline from its obligations. If your Bucharest - Larnaca delay was caused by an staff strike at Tarom, the CJEU have confirmed that this entitles you to a payout.
Even if the 250€ are not payable due to an external strike at Bucharest, assistance (meals/hotel) stays owed Tarom. Keep this in mind.
What are your rights at Bucharest airport in case of prolonged wait?
Most travellers are unaware that Tarom is obliged to provide them meals, drinks and communications from the first hours at Henri Coand? International Airport. It's a right, not a favour.
The full package of assistance includes: refreshments, hot meals if the delay warrants it, two free communications, and accommodation plus transfers if the flight is postponed. Everything at the expense of Tarom.
Steps: how to get your 250 € from Tarom?
Airlines like Tarom have entire legal teams dedicated to discouraging solo claimants. Facing this asymmetry, having an ally changes the game.
If you don't have the time for lengthy email exchanges, delegating your claim to specialists is the fastest way to see your 250€ credited in your account.
How long does it take to get the 250 € compensation?
Some passengers wait over 6 months for a response from Tarom. An expert can halve this time.
Imagine: while you go about your life, lawyers work to secure your 250€ for the Tarom Bucharest→Larnaca flight. That's the benefit of a turnkey service.
What to do faced with silence or refusal from the airline?
Statistically over 60% of initial refusals from Tarom are unfounded against an expert taking over. Don't give up at the first obstacle.
Aviation law experts have a vast record of rulings against Tarom, which is a powerful lever in proceedings.
