According to our information, TAROM is negotiating with the Beirut authorities in order to resume commercial flights. About 2 weeks ago, the negotiations failed because the Lebanese authorities wanted to do 2 PCR tests (on landing and takeoff).
But here comes the good news. From July 18, TAROM will resume flights on the route Bucharest - Beirut. For a start, the flights will be organized on a special basis. There will be only one flight a week, every Saturday.
