Romania to consolidate aerospace firms into National Aeronautical Group

Romania's designated PM Niculescu proposes merging TAROM Tehnic, ROMAERO, IAR Ghimbav, and Avioane Craiova into a state-owned National Aeronautical Group, modeled on ROMARM, to boost international maintenance and production. The plan, part of the 2026-2028 governance program, signals a state-led industrial consolidation but lacks details on investment and market strategy. This could reshape Romania's aerospace sector and its role in European defense supply chains.
