Tarom aircraft grounded by debt recovery firm at Amsterdam airport
<p>An aircraft of Romanian flag carrier Tarom was temporarily detained on the ground at Amsterdam airport following an action taken by a Dutch debt recovery company specializing in recovering compensation on behalf of passengers, <a href="https://www.bursa.ro/avion-tarom-retinut-temporar-la-sol-in-amsterdam-din-cauza-restantelor-de-compensatii-08897350?mc_cid=d6f3205837&amp;mc_eid=cd1f92f96c" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Bursa.ro</a> reported.</p>

<p>The claim against the state company was confirmed by the courts and relates to compensations owed by Tarom to passengers related to the period 2017 - 2021.</p>

<p>In response, Tarom accused that the seizure imposed on the aircraft's fuel was carried out without prior notification and without direct contact with Tarom representatives.</p>

<p>The incident took place on October 25 and impacted the Amsterdam-Bucharest flight, which took off with a delay of about an hour and a half, after a Dutch company specialized in recovering compensation for passengers affected by cancellations and delays seized almost 8,000 liters of fuel intended for the plane.</p>
