Zoom Airlines suspend all flights

Transatlantic budget carrier Zoom Airlines has suspended all flights and is applying to go into administration.

Thousands of passengers due to fly with Zoom have been told to rebook with other carriers, and to contact credit or debit card issuers about refunds.

Earlier, two of the airline's jets were held at Glasgow and Cardiff airports.

UK-Canadian Zoom blamed its problems on the "horrendous" price of jet fuel - which had added $50m (£27.3m) to annual fuel bills - and the economic slowdown.

Ja sauber!

Ich habe Returnflüge für 17 Leute mit denen gebucht (siehe http://www.pfadihike.de) für etwa 7000 Euro. Wenn jetzt nicht noch ein Wunder geschieht, wars das mit Kanada.

ZOOM Airlines

Zoom Airlines ceased operations on August 28, 2008

The following is a guide to assist consumers and travel agents with their bookings:

Consumers who have booked direct with Zoom Airlines and not through a registered Ontario travel retailer:

There is no provision under Ontario Regulation 26/05 made under the Travel Industry Act, 2002 for a consumer to claim on the Compensation Fund when they have purchased air travel directly with the airline.

Consumers who have purchased Zoom Airlines travel services from a registered Ontario travel agency:

Consumers are advised to contact their travel agent for information with respect to alternate travel arrangements. Consumers and/or travel agents may contact TICO to request a claim form at 1-888-451-8426 or (905) 624-6241 or email [email protected]

Travel agents who have purchased ITC packages and/or air only from an Ontario tour operator/travel wholesaler:

Travel agents are instructed to contact the appropriate tour operator/travel wholesaler to obtain instructions with respect to obtaining a refund or information regarding alternate travel arrangements for consumers in destination or with immediate departures.

Responsibility of Ontario Registrants who have sold Zoom Airlines travel services as part of a package:

Registrants are reminded that under Section 46 of Ontario Regulation 26/05 they are required to either reimburse the consumer or provide alternate (replacement) travel services at no additional cost to the consumer when they have acquired the right to travel services for the purpose of resale to other registrants or customers.

Section 46 of Ontario Regulation 26/05 states as follows:
“If a registrant acquires rights to travel services for resale to other registrants or to customers and the supplier fails to provide travel services paid for by a customer, the registrant who acquired the rights for resale shall reimburse the customer or provide comparable alternate travel services acceptable to the customer.”

Please contact TICO at 1-888-451-8426 or (905) 624-6241 or email [email protected] should you have any questions or require further clarification.

Heisst leider frei übersetzt: Wer direkt bei ZOOM und nicht über einen in bei TICO Ontario registrierten TA gebucht hat, muss sich mit seinen Forderungen direkt an die Airline wenden ... sprich abwarten. Gute Chancen haben immerhin die Kunden, die mit Kreditkarte gezahlt haben und von ihrer CC Agentur die Kosten zurückholen können.

Sehr schade um eine sympatische Airline und hoffentlich wird es in CA eine ähnliche Aktion wie vormals bei "Jet Go" geben, sodass die Mitarbeiter schnell die Chance zu einer Neuanstellung erhalten. Sorry to see them go.

Nochmal Glück gehabt - und nu?

Alles neu gebucht - super! Siehe Trippreports -> Upcoming Trips

[Maik]

Na dann is ja gut - wäre ja schade drum...

Ein schönes Programm habt ihr euch da vorgenommen. Aber vorsicht in der Innenstadt von Buffalo - halte die Kids von den Crackdealern fern...

[NiesiausBo]

Ja, da war ich auch schonmal.... seltsames Pflaster.

[Maik]

Allerdings, den Innenstadtbereich fand ich schon heftig skurril...
