The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has given its nod to
Zooom airlines to commence commercial passenger operations in India.
Zooom airlines or Zexus Air, initially established in April 2013, acquired its first aircraft, a Bombardier CRJ200.
However, it only commenced operations in February 2017.
Despite its efforts, the airline struggled to draw significant air passenger traffic.
Due to safety concerns, the DGCA suspended its air operator certificate in July 2018 for a period exceeding a year.
“Receiving
the Air Operator Certificate is a testament to our unwavering
commitment to safety and operational excellence. We are grateful to our
dedicated team for helping us reach this significant milestone. With our
AOC in hand, we are looking forward to providing passengers with a
top-notch travel experience that combines convenience, efficiency, and
comfort,” said Zooom Airlines CEO Atul Gambhir.
“Our CRJ 200
aircraft will provide domestic travellers with unprecedented speed on
each route. We wish to cater to the growing number of domestic
travellers who take frequent flights and expect comfortable travel with
reliable speed,” said Gambhir.
“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."
