The only solution for TAROM is to find private investors, USR MP Claudiu Nasui said on Tuesday, adding that the end of the pilots' strike does not mean that the company's problems have been solved or disappeared overnight.
In a press release, USR asks TAROM's management to announce the implementation stage of the company's restructuring plan, based on which it received another 100 million lei in state aid from Romanian taxpayers' money, in May of this year.
According to USR, the reorganization plan is kept secret and "for now, the Ministry of Transport has only published a mini-summary, when the government decision for rescue aid was adopted and which does not show clear deadlines and actions".
Claudiu Nasui draws attention to the fact that, in the last 17 years, the company has always been at a loss, in total exceeding 55 million euros.
"The politically controlled company went from bad to worse. But that didn't stop the heads of the state company from taking the big bucks every time. Last year, the Tarom heads each received over 36,000 RON/month (gross) and the members of the board of directors, politically appointed without executive powers, another 12,500 RON/month (gross)", says Claudiu Nasui.
According to the USR press release, "the Board of TAROM is eminently political, half of its members "come from PSD, the other half from PNL".
The TAROM company announced on Tuesday morning that it has concluded an agreement with the flight staff for the flight operations to run normally, so that from Tuesday morning all regular flights, both on internal and external routes, are carried out according to flight schedules.
The Minister of Transport and Infrastructure, Sorin Grindeanu, stated that TAROM will have to compensate the passengers whose flights were canceled during Monday.
According to the minister, on Monday, up to 30 pilots out of almost 150 pilots of the company declared themselves "unfit to fly", practically somewhere around 20%.
