Carol I of Romania was the monarch of Romania from 1866 to 1914. In May 1877, he proclaimed Romania an independent and sovereign nation. While Tarom is the national carrier, this initiative intended to honour those who contributed to the establishment of modern Romania. (Initially Carol I, Carol II and Michael I of Romania were all expected to be featured on Blue Air tails).
