With Ryanair announcing $US12 fares across the Alantic, Zoom Airlines, the U.K. arm Canada’s Zoom Airlines Inc, said yesterday that it plans to start low-cost flights between London’s Gatwick airport and New York starting on June 21.
The airline said that one-way fares will start from £129 pounds including taxes and charges and it will offer economy and premium economy services with designated seating and a meal service.
Flights will leave London Gatwick every lunchtime, arriving in New York in the early afternoon, with return flights leaving New York in the early evening, landing at London Gatwick at around 6:00am the following morning.
Zoom said it will initially operate five flights per week direct from London Gatwick to New York and two off-peak services via Bermuda.
