TAROM has introduced a new online system for passengers with reduced mobility to request free wheelchair assistance. The service can be requested during the initial ticket booking process or via the airline’s reservation management section.

Commercial Director Isabela Leca stated the initiative aims to provide “more clarity and predictability” for travelers. The airline categorizes assistance into two types: WCHR, for passengers who can walk and climb stairs but struggle with long distances, and WCHS, for those who can reach their seats but cannot climb or descend stairs. To ensure organization, the airline recommends submitting requests at least 48 hours before departure.
