Common Challenges With TAROM Claims
Claims may be initially rejected. Persistence and proper documentation are important.
Common rejection: 'extraordinary circumstances' for operational issues.
The airline may offer travel vouchers — these are not a legal substitute.
Romanian AACR ADR is effective for TAROM claims.
SkyVolo Approach
How We Handle TAROM Differently
