Zooom returns to Indian skies with the launch of services to Ayodhya

Delhi, 31st January 2024:

Domestic carrier Zooom is set to revive its operations in India with flight services from Delhi to Ayodhya on January 31, 2024. The airline’s first flight will deploy its fleet of Bombardier CRJ200ER aircraft for services on the New Delhi – Ayodhya route, which has already emerged as one of India’s most sought-after spiritual tourism hotspots.

“We are delighted to announce the relaunch of Zooom, with services connecting Ayodhya and Delhi. Zooom is dedicated to enhancing regional connectivity in India. The new flight services aim to connect people, cultures, and regions to this spiritual hub,” says Zooom’s Chief Executive Officer Atul Gambhir.

“We are witnessing a significant increase in domestic air travel passengers in India. The proliferation of low-cost airline flights, streamlined booking systems, improved customer experience, and flexible airline schedules are key factors contributing to this growth. Zooom will align with these growth elements, enhancing the travel experience and making it more appealing for individuals with a focus on quality improvement,” adds Mr. Gambhir.

He says that the airline will also persist in its support role, promoting the Government’s Regional Connectivity Scheme (RCS-UDAN) by launching additional services focused on the UDAN routes as part of its service revival.

“We are also considering the exploration of new routes and expanding our network to include more tier-2 cities. This will provide passengers with additional travel options, contributing further to the growth of the domestic aviation sector,” says Mr. Gambhir, who has extensive expertise in the aviation industry. With a proven track record in key roles at major firms such as Air One Aviation Pvt Ltd and Air One Charters Pvt Ltd, he has played a pivotal part in developing air connectivity in India, particularly in the Northern and Western regions.

Now, with Zooom, he optimistically envisions bringing innovation and enhanced efficiency to the forefront of the dynamic Indian aviation sector.
