Airlines in Romania

[Robi_damian]

She flew today.
Normally, the afternoon and evening flights to TSR should be made by A318 planes (or more rarely B737).

and here you have the reason :

they asked money to the city for their flights

Ryanair cere bani autoritatilor locale ca sa opereze pe aeroporturile romanesti


a method which btw it's used in many places. at least here in barcelona. (Girona and Reus)

Unicul (momentan) comentariu la articol:

nu ne vindem tara
Va mai amintiti de cazul Semanatoarea?
Sunteti siguri ca Ion Ratiu voia sa ne vanda americanilor?
Credeti ca Ryanair are nevoie de noi sau noi de ei?
Pe acest principiu aceasta companie opereaza in toate orasele cu potential turistic din toata Europa...si cu succes. Este prima companie aviatica la care te gandesti cand vrei sa ajungi ieftin schimband doar un avion (asa au eliminat KLM, Air France, Iberia, Tarom, etc.). Cand vrei sa iti faci concediul intr-un loc placut, te uit la preturile de la Ryanair si alegi unde vrei sa te duci. Ca sa ajungi in Romania, cea mai buna optiune este sa te dai jos la Budapesta si de acolo trenul...Tot prosti ati ramas, si edilii si cei care scriu artiolele de genul asta!

Apropo, 150k Euro vi se pare o suma mare? Mie nu.

questia e ca in schimbul sumei ei se obliga sa aduca un numar de calatori. deci nu e un bad deal.

The guys on airliners.net are saying it's due to fuel costs. Ahhh RO has FAA cat 1 standings. They should try out some NA cities.

I used the Tarom a lot of times for Bucharest-NYC in the '90s and once at the end of 2000.
They closed the flight because Miron Mitrea sold the rights to other companies and so for some years who wanted to go to New York had to stop a Vienna or Paris. Now i heard Delta has a direct flight or something like that...
This flight was one of the most successful Tarom flight, i rember it was always full, never 1 seat empty.

I heard that the OTP-JFK flights were very unprofitable for Tarom. I flew this route with Tarom back in '92 or '93...It was horrible experience...The plane (B 707) was supposed to leave NY around 2 or 3 pm...we boarded around 11 pm and then, right before take-off, something happened (we weren't told what) and had to sit for another hour or so on the tarmac. Now remember, this is a 707 and the air conditioning system only works while the plane is in flight...(did I mention it was late July???)...anyway...we finally make it to OTP about a day late....and surprise....my luggage (along with that of many other passengers) was left at JFK....that was the last time I flew with Tarom.

[PaulFCB]

That was Mitrea's excuses for shutting it down. Well, shit happens i guess everywhere, once we stayed 3 extra hours for a technical problem two, it wasn't anything bad, just took time probably more for them to find the time to take off. But the flights were 100% ok except for the Indians that used it. No doubt it was a very profitable flight,why do you think they made it later from 2 flights a week ( 1 direct one true Timisoara ) to 3? So they will loose more money or what? When the Americans were bombing Belgrade they used Baia Mare airport to replace the one's that stoped at Timisoara.
And they used Airbus not Boeing for this flight, i dunno in 1992 because i first flew in 1997, yes...one of the 3 Airbuses crashed in Balotesti but i dont remember anyone shitting on him because of that really...the romanian airplane pilots are one of the best in the world even though i think it won't last for long seeing some weird specimens trying to go for it...

I was one of them. But I don't consider myself weird. I just had to pass two more written tests (after all the medicals that I've passed) and suddently realized that:
a) hey, maybe I'll fail math (I had math and physics and I was never good at math);
b) sure I'd like to fly, but would I really like to do it for my entire life as a job?
So given the fact that I was already admitted at ASE, I decided to abandon the airline pilot thing. I regret missing the chance to actually finish a faculty as interesting as that and not flying those planes, but I don't regret not following my initial dream of becoming an airline pilot. Maybe some day I'll get my PPL...

I read in Ziarul Financiar from this monday an article about the Delta flights and the representative said that the flights will be suspended only during the winter schedule and restarted next summer. She said that Delta decided this because of the high fuel costs at flights longer than 10 hours. The occupancy during winter is only 60-70% and it is not profitable but the evidence that Delta still wants to keep Bucharest on their destinations is that they'll keep the office from Bucharest open So lets hope that next summer the flight will restart

[nebunul]

Should do ... Romanians coming home for summer holidays, Americans visiting Dracula's land ... and and and ... soon ... ZA FORD boyzzzz and girlzzzz also

[YU-AMC]

Yes, you are right. The JFK/OTP service with a 707 is from Ceaucescu's times. It was a similar scenerio as Malev had it with chartered 707. Lol
We are talking about Taroms Airbus planes, 1997 + years.... Were those routes to JFK profitable? I remember they had Montreal and Washington on the network as well. Montreal had a slow down period on their economy as Toronto took over. Why they never flew to Toronto. I am confident that some politics is involved in here. Don't get me started on how many Romanians you got here.

NYSE is saying to American economy is expected to recover by the winter time. That's when American dollar starts to climb up, and gasoline price goes down. Anything can happen by October 08. Nothing to worry. Americans are big spenders and I am confident they will be all over Romania.

[Cosmin]

NYSE has all the interest in the world for people to think that the American economy is/will be recovering, so I don't know about that, but their economy is very strong even when it's weak, so it will undoubtedly recover sooner or later. Just don't know if it will happen so fast...

[YU-AMC]

I understand what you mean. Lets hope we see a boost in Romanian economy. One flight to JFK by DL, and another one by Tarom. That would be wicked. Athens and BUD have that. Trust me, Bucharest is not far from that.
