DGCA approves Zooom airlines for operation

The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has granted permission to Zooom Airlines to begin commercial passenger operations in India.

Zooom Airlines, also known as Zexus Air, was initially established in April 2013 and acquired its first aircraft, a Bombardier CRJ200. However, it did not start its operations until February 2017.

Despite its best efforts, the airline faced challenges in attracting significant air passenger traffic. Due to safety concerns, the DGCA suspended its air operator certificate in July 2018, and this suspension lasted for over a year.

Atul Gambhir, CEO, Zooom Airlines, expressed his thoughts on the matter, stating, "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 assisting us in reaching 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."

Gambhir also mentioned, "Our CRJ 200 aircraft will offer domestic travellers unmatched speed on every route. We aim to serve the increasing number of domestic travellers who frequently fly and expect comfortable travel with reliable speed."

He further commented, "The Indian domestic aviation sector is expanding, and customers are seeking the most cost-effective, safe, and convenient options. We are confident in our ability to create a niche for ourselves by offering a unique and innovative travel experience."
