Budget airline suspends flights

Aug 28 2008

Low-fare transatlantic airline Zoom, which flew from five UK airports, has suspended all operations and cancelled all flights after running into financial difficulties.

The move began when the Canadian-UK carrier had a plane detained at Calgary Airport in Canada on Wednesday night because of the financial problems.

Later BAA prevented a Canada-bound Zoom aircraft from leaving Glasgow following an instruction from UK's Civil Aviation Authority (CAA).
