TAROM has appointed Cristian Anghel as interim general director, placing the former director of ground operations in charge of Romania’s national airline after Bogdan Costaș declined a new mandate. The move, taken in July 2026, gives the flag carrier new leadership continuity at a time when it is managing ongoing operational activity and restructuring pressures.
Anghel has worked at TAROM since 2017 and previously held responsibility for ground operations. His background includes postgraduate training in law, management and anti-fraud disciplines, positioning him within the airline’s existing management structure rather than bringing in an external executive. The interim appointment keeps control within the current organisation while TAROM’s board works through the leadership transition.
The change comes as the carrier continues to operate as Romania’s flag airline, where stable senior management remains closely tied to day-to-day execution and broader corporate plans. No mandate length for the interim role was disclosed in the available report.
