Flydubai and TAROM Forge New Partnership to Expand Travel Links Between UAE and Romania
Flydubai, the Dubai-based low-cost carrier, has entered into a strategic interline agreement with TAROM, Romania’s national airline, to provide passengers seamless connections to 15 destinations through Bucharest Henri Coandă International Airport. The partnership aims to enhance travel options across TAROM’s network, which includes key European cities such as Athens, Amsterdam, Brussels, Frankfurt, Madrid, and Paris.
Under the agreement, travelers booking with flydubai will benefit from coordinated itineraries, single-ticket bookings, and through-checked baggage to final destinations on TAROM’s domestic and international routes. The collaboration reflects flydubai’s ongoing efforts to strengthen connectivity between the UAE, Romania, and broader Eastern and Central Europe.
Ramesh Anantharaman, Divisional Senior Vice President of Revenue Management and Business Effectiveness at flydubai, emphasized the importance of the partnership in boosting trade, tourism, and cultural exchange between the regions. “This agreement offers our customers simplified travel and expanded access across TAROM’s regional network,” he said.
Flydubai has operated flights between Dubai International Airport and Bucharest since 2012, responding to growing demand. The airline currently offers double daily flights on the route and plans to launch service to Iași, Romania’s second destination, starting September 19, 2025.
Costin Iordache, General Manager of TAROM, described the partnership as a strategic move to improve connectivity and facilitate travel between key cities. “Together, we provide passengers with safe, reliable, and convenient options that support tourism and business,” he said.
Flydubai currently serves over 135 destinations in 57 countries with a fleet of 93 Boeing 737 aircraft. The carrier has prioritized opening direct air links to previously underserved markets, reinforcing Dubai’s role as a global aviation hub.
Passengers traveling in flydubai’s Business Class enjoy lie-flat seats and premium services, while Economy Class offers comfortable seating with adjustable headrests and entertainment options, underscoring the airline’s commitment to an enhanced travel experience.
