Ed Wegel, Founder and CEO of AVi8 Air Capital, made this announcement:
We are moving forward on our scheduled airline operation, and we will launch with the Embraer E190/195 E1, as we await Airbus A220s in a few years.
The E1 gives us great range with an excellent engine type- the GE 34- . We have decided to go with the name Zoom!
Zoom! will work closely with UrbanLink to connect passengers- and UrbanLink pilots- who will start with 500 hours- will build flight hours until they can move to Zoom’s 190s and eventually 220s- we will home grow our cockpit crews
