History and growth

Zoom Airlines Inc. was founded in May 2002 as a low-fare trans-Atlantic airline. The carrier, based in Canada's capital city, Ottawa, was conceived by two Scottish brothers, John and Hugh Boyle, to fill an opportunity in the Canadian leisure travel market. No-frills or no frills is the term used to describe any service or product for which the non-essential features (or frills) have been removed. ...

The two brothers entered the holiday business in the 1980s with their start up company Falcon Holidays in their native Scotland, which was later sold for a large profit to a major UK tour operator. Their next venture, Direct Holidays, was started in 1991, and gained strength and market share in Scotland, becoming a household name and the largest 'direct sell' travel company in the United Kingdom. After the sale of Direct Holidays in 1998 to MyTravel Group PLC for £84m (C$200 million), Hugh relocated to Canada. Boyle started GO Travel Direct Vacations, introducing the 'direct sell' method. This business model eliminates the role of travel agents, passing the savings back to the holiday maker. In taking this business model one step further, Boyle launched Zoom Airlines, removing the remaining third parties from the booking process. MyTravel Group PLC is a package holiday company based in the United Kingdom. ... GBP redirects here. ... “C$” redirects here. ...
