“Zooom Airlines Set to Reclaim Indian Skies: A Look at the Carrier’s Journey”
Zooom Airlines, formerly known as Zoom Air, is making a comeback in the Indian aviation market after a pandemic-induced hiatus. Explore the airline’s history, challenges, and renewed commitment to offering cost-effective and convenient travel solutions.
The Indian aviation landscape is set to welcome back Zooom Airlines, formerly known as Zoom Air, as it recently received its Air Operator Certificate (AOC) from the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA). This development marks a significant step toward the airline’s revival, following its suspension in March 2020 due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
The AOC renewal, valid until September 3, 2024, reflects Zooom Airlines’ unwavering commitment to safety and operational excellence. Atul Gambhir, CEO of Zooom Airlines, expressed his gratitude to the dedicated team and shared his vision for the future, saying, “With our AOC in hand, we are looking forward to providing passengers with a top-notch travel experience that combines convenience, efficiency, and comfort.”
Here’s a brief overview of Zooom Airlines and its journey:
- Establishment and Early Days: Zooom Airlines, initially known as Zexus Air, was founded in April 2013 with the acquisition of its first aircraft, the Bombardier CRJ200.
- Commencement of Operations: The airline began its operations in February 2017, with high hopes of carving a niche in the competitive Indian aviation market. However, it faced challenges in attracting substantial air passenger traffic.
- Operational Hurdles: In July 2018, just a year after its inception, DGCA suspended Zooom Airlines’ air operator certificate due to safety concerns. Despite this setback, the airline managed to restart its services in October 2019, only to face another suspension in March 2020 due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
- Future Endeavors: Zooom Airlines aims to focus on providing “cost-effective” and “convenient” solutions to meet the regional travel needs of Indian flyers, especially in a growing aviation market.
- Commitment to Innovation: Atul Gambhir, the CEO of Zooom Airlines, expressed the company’s commitment to pushing the boundaries of innovation and forming lasting partnerships to deliver an unparalleled travel experience. He stated, “Indian domestic aviation is growing, and customers are looking for the most cost-effective, safe, and convenient solutions. We are confident in our ability to carve out a niche by offering a unique and innovative travel experience.”
The return of Zooom Airlines to the Indian skies signifies a new chapter in its journey, where it aspires to provide travelers with affordable and efficient travel options while contributing to the evolving landscape of domestic aviation.
