Romania
TAROM is the flag carrier and oldest currently operating airline of Romania and operates a network of domestic and international services to destinations in Europe, Africa and the Middle East. TAROM is majority government-owned and its main base is the Henri Coand? International Airport, Bucharest – the major gateway into Romania. Compared to some other Eastern European countries, airport infrastructure in Romania is well developed, resulting from the country’s long association with aviation – the world’s first jet powered aircraft was built by a Romanian.
The Civil Aviation Authority of Romania is the regulatory authority, while air navigation services are provided by ROMATSA.

Middle Eastern LCCs driving growth into Eastern Europe, Russia and CIS
Russia, the CIS nations and Central and Eastern Europe have been receiving a great deal of attention from Middle East-based carriers in recent months. Full service and low-cost carriers have announced or added a flurry of routes into Eastern European destinations over the past few weeks. Airlines in the Middle East are looking to tap into the underserved region, which is still showing strong economic growth despite troubles in several European markets and strong growth in business and tourism traffic.
Homegrown LCCs Air Arabia and flydubai are leading a push into the regions, but so too is Qatar Airways. Additionally, Oman Air plans to launch services to Moscow. While Middle Eastern carriers have long dominated traffic into western Europe, they now comprise the majority of traffic between the Middle East and central Europe, eastern Europe, Russia and CIS.

Cyprus Airways is also turning to implementing a raft of measures aimed at stemming operating losses.
