Kolkata: Zoom Air, the country's 10th scheduled carrier that received
the DGCA licence on Friday, will launch its service with flights to
Kolkata and Durgapur on February 12. Aviation minister Ashok Gajapathi
Raju will flag off the airline's inaugural flight from Delhi to Kolkata
at 7.15am that day.
Speaking to TOI, Zoom Air MD & CEO Koustav Dhar said the airline will operate a fleet of Bombardier CR-J200 LR series twin-engine jet aircraft with 50 premium seats in 2x2 layout. "Zoom is a full-service carrier that will serve complementary meals," he said.
To begin with, the airline will have daily flight on the Delhi-Kolkata-Durgapur-Delhi sectors, followed by Delhi-Chandigarh-Delhi and then the return Delhi-Durgapur-Kolkata-Delhi sectors. Later, the Delhi-Amritsar-Delhi leg will be added.
"We are beginning with these flights in the east and north in the winter schedule that is almost nearing its end. Once the summer schedule is announced, we will have more aircraft to service many more sectors," he said.
From March 24, Zoom Air plans to operate Delhi-Surat-Mumbai-Tirupathi-Delhi; Delhi-Allahabad-Kolkata-Shillong-Aizwal-Kolkata-Allahabad-Delhi sectors. "We currently have two Bombardier aircraft. Three more will join the fleet and enable us to expand to Indore, Jabalpur, Diu, Aurangabad and Vijaywada," Dhar said.
