Tarom passengers Bucharest-Tel-aviv: your guide to get compensated
You travelled with Tarom from Bucharest to Tel-aviv and the flight was disrupted? EU law mandates compensation when the airline is at fault.
Given the route between Bucharest and Tel-aviv (1 592 km), the EU scale provides for automatic protection in case of a breach by Tarom. Medium-haul flights attract a substantial indemnity.
Why are you entitled to 400 €?
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: Ben Gurion International Airport (TLV)
- Flight distance: 1 592 km (~1h59)
- Applicable compensation: 400 €
Good to know? Even if Tarom is a airline based outside the EU, if the flight takes off from Henri Coand? International Airport, CE 261 applies in full.
How to know if the flight Tarom Bucharest - Tel-aviv is eligible?
Three criteria are required to establish your right to 400€: {delay exceeds 3h at Tel-aviv|flight cancelled less than 14 days before|boarding denied} — and {the cause is attributable to|Tarom is responsible for|the fault lies with} Tarom.
An class change doesn't change your right to 400€ if the initial disruption is established under Regulation 261. The intermediate indemnity remains unchanged regardless of reclassification.
What are the conditions for Tarom to compensate you?
-
Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Tel-aviv.
-
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.

On top of the {financial compensation|400€ indemnity}, EU regulation guarantees what is known as a "right to care". If your flight is delayed at Henri Coand? International Airport, Tarom must provide you at no cost with food and drinks proportionate to the delay.

Steps: how to get your 400 € from Tarom?
To get started: submit a written complaint to Tarom's claims department explicitly citing Regulation CE 261/2004 and {the 400€ amount|your specific claim}.
