Airline TAROM is set to receive its first two Boeing 737 MAX 8 aircraft in September, marking an important milestone in its fleet modernization and renewal program. The new airliners will enter commercial service following the completion of delivery and operational readiness procedures.
According to information provided by the airline to BoardingPass, the first aircraft, registered YR-BGN and named “Ivan Patzaichin”, has already been painted in the carrier’s livery and is scheduled for delivery in early September. The aircraft completed a single test flight over a month ago, with no clear reason why further tests have not been conducted following the painting. The second aircraft, registered YR-BGO and named “Mircea Lucescu”, has already carried out its second test flight and is scheduled to arrive in Bucharest in late September. The right to use the coach’s name was granted to TAROM free of charge on June 3, through a protocol signed by Elena and Răzvan Lucescu. Currently, TAROM operates flights using Boeing 737 and ATR aircraft.
