===Logo and livery===
[[File:Tarom70s.png|thumb|right|The TAROM logo used in the 1970s and 1980s.]]
[[File:TAROM Logo.svg|thumb|right|The TAROM logo until 2015, infrequent use in publications from 2015.]]
The TAROM logo, representing a [[swallow]] in flight, has been used on all TAROM aircraft since 1954. The 1970s livery had the logo on the tail painted in red, with a red [[Aircraft livery#Cheatline|cheatline]]. The livery introduced in the early 1990s (on the Airbus A310 aircraft) is an overall-white scheme with the titles and the tailfin painted in dark blue. The current colour scheme (introduced in 2006 on the A318) is a slightly modified version of the previous one, with an oversized logo on the tailfin, and the engine pods also painted in dark blue.

All aircraft in the TAROM fleet receive a "name" which is a Romanian [[Toponymy|toponym]]. For instance, the names of the ATR aircraft in the fleet are related to the rivers of Romania, the Boeing aircraft bear names of Romanian cities, the Airbus long-haul aircraft bore Romanian historical province names; while the Airbus A318s bear names of Romanian aviation pioneers.{{citation needed|date=April 2021}}

In 2009, marking the airline's 55th anniversary, a Boeing 737-700 (YR-BGG "Craiova") was painted in a retro jet colour scheme, representing the airline's first livery used in the 1950s on [[Lisunov Li-2]] aircraft.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Radu |first=Sintia |date=2008-12-12 |title=Aeronavă aniversară cu ocazia împlinirii a 55 de ani de la înființarea TAROM (FOTO) |trans-title=Anniversary aircraft with the occasion of reaching 55 years since the establishment of TAROM (PHOTO) |url=https://www.antena3.ro/actualitate/aeronava-aniversara-cu-ocazia-implinirii-a-55-de-ani-de-la-infiintarea-tarom-foto-60111.html |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081214133527/http://www.antena3.ro/stiri/antena3ro/aeronava-aniversara-cu-ocazia-implinirii-a-55-de-ani-de-la-infiintarea-tarom_60111.html |archive-date=2008-12-14 |access-date=2020-08-17 |website=[[Antena 3 (Romanian TV channel)|Antena 3]] |language=ro}}</ref>

===TAROM Technical Division===
TAROM's Technical Division provides aircraft maintenance services for the company's entire fleet and aircraft of other companies. It provides maintenance for Boeing 737, ATR 42 and ATR 72 aircraft in central and eastern Europe and include unscheduled and scheduled maintenance, repairs and spare parts.

Major maintenance is performed in the division's hangar, built between 1969 and 1972, with an area of 6,000 m{{sup|2}} and updated in 2000 to comply with [[EASA]] and [[FAA]] standards. The hangar is equipped to perform all types of inspections for TAROM's fleet, and the personnel is qualified and licensed for all types of aircraft in the fleet. The hangar can be used to maintain three to six aircraft, depending on their size. The hangar is equipped with a full MERO system for B737 docking.

The department also has inspection capacity for type C for Airbus A310 and A318 aircraft, total painting, interior cleaning, and modifications.

The technical department also provides safe storage facilities for spare parts and materials necessary for maintenance, dedicated spaces for chemicals, special tools and testing equipment, and quarantine spaces. It also provides conveyance services (packaging, preparation of documents, customs) and acceptance services (customs, disassembly, and reception inspection) for various substances and equipment.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Technical Department |url=https://www.tarom.ro/en/services/technical-department/ |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170719214129/https://www.tarom.ro/en/technical-department |archive-date=2017-07-19 |access-date=2020-08-15 |website=www.tarom.ro}}</ref>

In a dispute between TAROM and UK airline [[Jet2.com]] regarding failure to provide adequate maintenance services for Jet2.com's fleet and the latter's resulting failure to pay certain invoices, the [[High Court of Justice|High Court]] in England determined that TAROM's attempt to terminate the contract in 2007 for non-payment was invalid, and treated the termination as a repudiatory [[breach of contract|breach of the contract]]. Jet2.com were awarded damages.<ref>England and Wales High Court (Commercial Court), [https://www.bailii.org/cgi-bin/format.cgi?doc=/ew/cases/EWHC/Comm/2012/622.html Jet2.com Ltd v SC Compania Nationala De Transporturi Aeriene Romane Tarom SA <nowiki>[</nowiki>2012<nowiki>]</nowiki> EWHC 622 (Comm) (15 March 2012)], accessed 13 May 2023</ref>
