TAROM is one of the airlines that has ATR fleet: 7 ATR units 42-500 and 2 ATR 72-500. Their autonomy is about 1100 km.
Has the Tarom also some 7 ATRs. They are very economical and are indicated on short distances. The new ATR 72-600 has greater autonomy and is more economical. Tarom could be used for Vienna, the Balkans and even Italy.
