Claim Compensation for Tarom Flight Delays and Cancellations

Compensation is not due if the delay or cancellation was caused by extraordinary circumstances. This includes events such as severe weather, air traffic control restrictions, or security risks beyond the airline’s control.

Are you wondering if you qualify for compensation? You can easily check your eligibility through Skycop. It is recommended to keep your boarding passes, booking confirmations, and receipts for additional expenses, as they may be needed if you choose to file a claim

Compensation Eligibility: When Can You Claim?

You may be eligible for compensation under EU Regulation EC 261/2004 if your Tarom flight departed from the EU or arrived in the EU on Tarom and was delayed by more than three hours, cancelled less than 14 days before departure, or if you were denied boarding due to overbooking. Compensation applies only when the airline is responsible for the disruption.

There are situations where compensation does not apply. These include events beyond the airline’s control, such as:

• Severe weather such as (storms, heavy snow, or strong winds)
• Strikes by airport or security staff ( not involving Tarom employees)
• Air traffic control restrictions or airport closures
• Political unrest or safety concerns
• Natural disasters such as earthquakes or volcanic eruptions

Assistance such as meals, refreshments, hotel accommodation, and transport may still be offered during extended waits on eligible EU flights; however, financial compensation is generally not provided in these circumstances.

Passengers sometimes miss out on potential denied boarding compensation and other entitlements because the rules can be complex. To avoid losing what you may be owed under applicable law, it is worth checking your eligibility through Skycop, which helps travelers understand and pursue their rights.

To qualify, the delay must have exceeded three hours and the cause must fall within the airline’s responsibility. If those conditions are met, the claim may remain valid.

Skycop can help review your case and submit a claim properly, even if the delayed flight occurred in the past. Checking eligibility takes only a few minutes.

What if the airline offered another flight?

If Tarom provided rebooking and you arrived close to your original arrival time, compensation may be reduced or may not apply. It depends on the final arrival delay.

Is there a deadline to file?

Yes. In Romania, claims are generally subject to a three year limitation period. Other jurisdictions may apply different time limits, so filing sooner is advisable.

If you are unsure whether your flight qualifies, Skycop can help review eligibility and assist with submitting a claim within the applicable timeframe.

Compensation Amounts for Tarom – How Much Can You Get?

Passengers on qualifying EU-covered Tarom flights may be entitled to compensation of up to $650 (€600). The final amount depends on flight distance and the length of the arrival delay. Short routes may qualify for $270 (€250), medium distance routes for $430 (€400), and longer journeys for $650 (€600).

Tarom must be responsible for the disruption for compensation to apply. This may include certain technical or operational issues. If you were rebooked and arrived close to the originally scheduled time, compensation may be reduced.

If your qualifying flight was cancelled and you declined rebooking, you may be entitled to request a refund. Refund rights apply to cancellations, not delays alone under US law. Keep your boarding pass, confirmation email, and airline communications to support your claim.
