It is the first 737 MAX Tarom has ever operated, and the first in Romania.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Boeing, Tarom and the lessor CDB Aviation marked the delivery formally on 12 September. The aircraft seats 189, carries manufacturer\u2019s serial number 60196, and has been named Mircea Lucescu after the Romanian football manager, with the family granting the name rights free of charge. It flew a short circuit over Bucharest for the cameras and entered scheduled service on 15 September, on the Amsterdam route.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>It is a genuinely good day for an airline that has not had many. It is also arriving at a very particular moment.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n<div style=\"background:#f5f5f5;padding:20px 22px;margin:24px 0\"><p style=\"margin:0 0 10px;font-weight:700;font-size:17px;color:#1a1a1a\">Quick Facts<\/p><p style=\"margin:5px 0;font-size:15px;line-height:1.6\"><strong>Aircraft:<\/strong> Boeing 737-8, registration YR-BGO, MSN 60196, 189 seats<\/p><p style=\"margin:5px 0;font-size:15px;line-height:1.6\"><strong>Named:<\/strong> Mircea Lucescu, with name rights granted by the family<\/p><p style=\"margin:5px 0;font-size:15px;line-height:1.6\"><strong>Arrived Bucharest:<\/strong> 8 September 2026.

On 29 April 2024 the European Commission approved 95.3 million euros of Romanian restructuring state aid for Tarom, made up of a debt write-off of the earlier rescue aid plus a capital injection. The approval came with conditions: cuts to the route network and the fleet, and a restructuring plan that has to demonstrate viability by 31 December 2026.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>It is not going well. Tarom has not reported an operating profit since 2008, apart from a gain on an asset sale in 2024. In the first eight months of 2025 it lost around 30 million euros against a projected 5 million euro profit, with negative EBITDA of 9 million against a projected positive 30 million. Full-year 2025 losses came in at 186 million lei. The airline wrote to the Commission in October 2025 to admit it had missed its forecasts.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Chief executive Bogdan Costa\u0219 was dismissed in July 2026 and replaced by Anghel. At the end of that month, acting transport minister Radu Miru\u021b\u0103 said a revised restructuring plan would be filed with Brussels in September, citing fuel prices and aircraft delivery delays. If the Commission is not satisfied that the airline is viable by the end of the year, the aid can be withdrawn, and withdrawal would mean bankruptcy.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n<div style=\"position:relative;padding-bottom:56.25%;height:0;overflow:hidden;margin:24px 0\"><iframe class=\"skip-lazy\" data-no-lazy=\"1\" loading=\"eager\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/LZuE-I-loqo\" style=\"position:absolute;top:0;left:0;width:100%;height:100%;border:0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Romanian coverage of the new aircraft joining the Tarom fleet.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 style=\"padding-top:22px\">Two aircraft, or four<\/h2>\r\n\r\n<p>There is a small but telling discrepancy in the numbers. Boeing\u2019s own release of 12 September describes YR-BGO as the first of two aircraft leased from CDB Aviation. Tarom said in August that it was the first of four MAX aircraft that will enter the fleet. Both statements are on the record. The safe reading is two firm, with the airline signalling an intention to reach four, and a second aircraft due this autumn.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n<div style=\"background:#f8f9fa;border-left:4px solid #1565c0;padding:20px 22px;margin:18px 0 24px;font-size:16px;line-height:1.7;display:flex;gap:20px;align-items:flex-start\"><div><em>&ldquo;We are delighted to support TAROM as it takes delivery of its first 737-8 and continues its fleet modernization strategy.&rdquo;<\/em><div style=\"margin-top:10px;font-size:14px;color:#555\"><strong>Gavan Daly<\/strong> &mdash; Head of Commercial, EMEA, CDB Aviation, 12 September 2026<\/div><\/div><\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The commercial logic of the MAX for an airline in this position is straightforward enough. A 737-8 burns meaningfully less fuel than the 737-800 it displaces, and fuel is precisely the cost line Miru\u021b\u0103 blamed for the missed targets. Leasing rather than buying keeps it off the balance sheet. The aircraft will fly to Paris, Amsterdam and Madrid, and domestically to Cluj.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Whether one modern narrowbody, or two, or four, can shift the arithmetic of an airline that has lost money for the better part of two decades is a different question, and Brussels will answer it before the year is out.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><em>Sources: Boeing; FlightGlobal; Aviation24.be; Romania Insider; European Commission decision IP\/24\/2321; ch-aviation.<\/em><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n<style>.mfq{margin:34px 0 8px}.mfq h2{font:26px\/1.3 \"Gilroy semiBold\",Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;color:#0d1117;padding-top:22px;margin:0 0 6px}.mfq .qa details{border-top:1px solid #5C91FF;margin:0;padding:0}.mfq .qa details:last-of-type{border-bottom:1px solid #e2e7ee}.mfq .qa summary{cursor:pointer;list-style:none;display:flex;justify-content:space-between;align-items:center;gap:16px;padding:22px 26px;font:18px\/1.7 \"Gilroy semiBold\",Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;color:#0d1117}.mfq .qa summary::-webkit-details-marker{display:none}.mfq .qa summary::after{content:\"+\";font:24px Helvetica,sans-serif;color:#3568e0;flex:0 0 auto}.mfq .qa details[open] summary::after{content:\"\\2013\"}.mfq .qa details:hover summary{color:#3568e0}.mfq .qa .a{font:16px\/1.7 \"Gilroy regular\",Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;color:#454e5e;padding:0 26px 24px}.mfq .qa .a a{color:#3568e0}@media(max-width:680px){.mfq .qa summary{padding:18px 14px;font-size:17px}.mfq .qa .a{padding:0 14px 20px}}<\/style>\r\n\r\n\r\n<section class=\"mfq\"><h2>Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2><div class=\"qa\"><details open><summary>When did Tarom receive its first Boeing 737 MAX?<\/summary><div class=\"a\">The aircraft arrived at Henri Coanda airport in Bucharest on the evening of 8 September 2026, flown directly from the United States.
