Zoom Airlines

Zoom Airlines has ceased flying on Thursday 28th August 2008.

Zoom Airlines flights

Zoom operated low fare scheduled flights from the UK, France and Italy to the United States of America with Canada and Paris, Franc, Canada and Bermuda.

Unlike the traditional "low cost" concept Zoom offered full in-flight services including meals and soft drinks and the comfortable seating arrangement provides a 31 inch seat pitch.

The real value deal was however the Zoom Premium Seating option which gives a generous 36 inch pitch, upgraded meal service, complimentary bar service, increased baggage allowance, comfort pack and Headsets. The cost for the upgrade ranged from a meagre £50 and £150 (each way) depending on route and season. Flights operated from London-Gatwick, Belfast, Manchester, Glasgow and Cardiff to a total of eleven leisure and business destination in Canada, the USA and Bermuda.

The following is an extract from a statement on the Zoom website: "Zoom Airlines sincerely regrets to advise its customers that it has suspended operations with effect from 19:00 hrs on Thursday 28 August 2008. Both Zoom Airlines Inc and Zoom Airlines Ltd, the Canadian and UK airlines, have started administration proceedings in their home countries. All Zoom flights have been cancelled and aircraft grounded. For customers who have future travel plans involving a Zoom flight for which reservations and payment have been made, you should refer to your credit or debit card company to apply for a refund". End statement.
