Zoom Airlines is seeking protection from creditors.

It looks like we will be swimming there next week then

The airline continues to operate services across its network, although there are some delays after one of the airline's planes was grounded in Canada, after fees were allegedly unpaid.

Zoom hopes to be able to continue operations and says negotiations on an investment package are already "at an advanced stage.

Great, I'm due to fly on September 12th. Maybe it's time to give Amex a call. "Can I have my money back please?"

They always say that it is going to be service as usual. It means they want to keep taking money off unsuspecting people so the directors of the company can squirrel as much away as they possibly can.:curse::curse:
We were due to fly on the 3rd.
Better start looking at Canadian Affaire web site when the wife gets home

No doubt all will be revealed by tomorrow. The Gatwick - Vancouver flight is still at Gatwick it seems. Thursday flights will likely be quite disrupted. Air Canada went though this some years ago and came through. Zoom have a good management team, so all may end up OK.

Its nice to hear from people how have a glass half full
Unlike my half empty one

I have never been keen on zoom airline since my 1st trip to vancouver when me and my other half saw a zoom plane with it's guts out on the tarmac. it did not paint a good picture for us.

They've ceased trading

oh dear, i feel badly for all those with tickets already paid for with the company, i hope you all have luck making alternative arrangements.

Apparently if you have tickets pre booked you have to apply for a refund via your credit / debit card company

yes, which i suspect will be quite a painstakingly long ordeal. I suppose looking at the travel insurance small print cant hurt either, hopefully one way or another paople will see there money again.

I've just re-booked with British Airways. Now to give Amex a call and see if their customer service is up to scratch.

Im sure they will but Im sure I have read recently that theres a few people on here who have flights booked with Zoom over the next few weeks!!!

Hope everyone gets sorted ok and without too much hassle - Good luck all

Its pretty easy actual, get on the phone NOW and tell them you want to put a payment into dispute,they will then ask you why, tell them, and its plain sailing from there. Just 2 weeks ago i had to do it with Amex,they froze the payment while they made there inquires, which means you do not have to pay the bill or any interest. If you have allready paid your statement off, its still just as easy but you will have to wait 30 days for the money to be refunded back to your account. I've done this a few times in the past, any question just ask

So much for optimism!
