Flight compensation Tarom:
Rome — Bucharest

Legal right to compensation: Tarom flight between Rome and Bucharest

If your trip departing from Leonardo Da Vinci (Fiumicino) International Airport and arriving at Henri Coand? International Airport operated by Tarom was disrupted, you are not alone against the airline.

By taking off from Leonardo Da Vinci (Fiumicino) International Airport, you are protected by the EU's legal framework. The distance of 1 162 km determines your legal compensation level.

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.

This is not a commercial gesture from Tarom, but a legal obligation that applies to all flights within the scope of the directive.

How to know if the flight Tarom Rome - Bucharest is eligible?

Check your actual arrival time at Bucharest. If Tarom made you wait more than three hours on the tarmac at Henri Coand? International Airport, your claim is legitimate.

Upgrading or downgrading does not change your right to 250 € if the initial incident is qualified under Regulation 261.

What are the conditions for Tarom to compensate you?

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Bucharest.
• Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
• Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Rome airport.
• Airline responsibility: The problem must be attributable to Tarom (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).

The impact of a strike on your Tarom compensation

When a social movement disrupts your itinerary to Henri Coand? International Airport, the company will often try to clear itself. However, a strike by its own staff is no longer, in the majority of cases, considered an exonerating circumstance.

In all cases, a precise analysis of flight logs will confirm if the weather or traffic conditions were truly exceptional.

What are your rights at Rome airport in case of prolonged wait?

During these long hours of waiting in the Leonardo Da Vinci (Fiumicino) International Airport terminal, know that the airline has a legal obligation to take care of you. This includes catering, but also the possibility of making two telephone calls or sending emails for free.

In the case of a flight postponement until the next day, the regulation stipulates that hotel accommodation and transfers from and to Leonardo Da Vinci (Fiumicino) International Airport airport are entirely the responsibility of the air carrier.

Steps: how to get your 250 € from Tarom?

For your Rome - Bucharest trip, every minute counts. Note the reasons given by Tarom staff at the Leonardo Da Vinci (Fiumicino) International Airport counter during the incident.

If you don't have the time or the desire to engage in long email exchanges, delegating your claim to lawyers is the most effective solution to see your 250 € arrive in your bank account.

How long does it take to get the 250 € compensation?

On the FCO-OTP line, delays can vary according to the reactivity of Tarom's legal department.

The advantage of delegating your claim to a major LegalTech player is that they can speed up this process thanks to automated formal notice systems and the constant threat of legal proceedings.

What to do faced with silence or refusal from the airline?

The first refusal from Tarom should not discourage you. Very often, passenger services invoke 'weather' by default to test the traveler's determination.

DGAC or its European equivalents can be slow. A private court proceeding against Tarom is often more striking.
