May 9 (SeeNews) - Romanian flag carrier Tarom said on Wednesday it will start operating a new domestic route, from Iasi to Cluj, in June.
Tarom will operate the flight three times a week - on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, the company said in a press release.
"We have great expectations, including from this new route. We target a consistent audience of business people, students, university professors and more," Tarom's general manager Werner-Wilhelm Wolff said.
Tarom launched a route from Iasi to Timisoara in March.
Also in March, the company said it expects to post a slim profit in 2018 following 10 straight years of financial loss.
The company also said it will allocate 440.25 million lei ($11.2 million/ 95 million euro) to investments in 2018, up 64% on the year. Some 10% of the sum will go to IT infrastructure.
The Romanian flag carrier's gross loss widened to 140 million lei in 2017 from 47 million lei in 2016.
