Buscan iniciar nueva aerolínea en Estados Unidos

El ex CEO de Global Crossing’s Group (GlobalX), Ed Wegel, ha anunciado que está buscando lanzar su propia aerolínea que la denominaría Zoom!, que operará una variedad de rutas desde el Estado de Florida. A principios de este año, el ex-directivo reveló sus planes para lanzar una aerolínea programada que inicialmente se lanzará con varios Embraer E-jets antes de hacer la transición al avión Airbus A220 dentro de unos años.

Los Embraer E190-E1 y E195-E1 son propulsados por motores General Electric CF34, mientras que la configuración de los asientos de las aeronaves y las rutas asignadas todavía no forman parte de los anuncios. Sin embargo, el fundador de la aerolínea ha inferido que operará una red similar a la otrora Air Florida, que operaba desde su centro de operaciones en Miami a 99 destinos en Estados Unidos, Europa, el Caribe y América Central. Otra característica única es que la aerolínea busca atraer a los pilotos novatos con su plan de trabajar junto a UrbanLink. Esta startup parece operar el eVTOL Lilium Jet. Reclutará pilotos a las 500 horas y construirá con UrbanLink hasta que estén listos para operar el avión Embraer y, eventualmente, el Airbus A220.

New airline Zoom!

They are looking to start a new airline in the United States

Former CEO of Global Crossing’s Group (GlobalX), Ed Wegel, has announced that he is looking to launch his own airline called Zoom!, which will operate a variety of routes from the State of Florida. Earlier this year, the former executive revealed his plans to launch a scheduled airline that will initially launch with several Embraer E-jets before transitioning to the Airbus A220 aircraft within a few years.

The Embraer E190-E1 and E195-E1 are powered by General Electric CF34 engines, while the aircraft’s seating configuration and assigned routes are not yet part of the announcements. However, the founder of the airline has inferred that it will operate a network similar to the former Air Florida, which operated from its operations center in Miami to 99 destinations in the United States, Europe, the Caribbean, and Central America. Another unique feature is that the airline is looking to attract novice pilots with its plan to work together with UrbanLink. This startup appears to operate the eVTOL Lilium Jet. It will recruit pilots at 500 hours and build with UrbanLink until they are ready to operate the Embraer aircraft and, eventually, the Airbus A220.
