MP speaks out on 'disgraceful' Zoom situation
Published Date:

SOUTH Antrim MP William McCrea has condemned Zoom Airlines for leaving hundreds of travellers stranded at several airports, including Belfast International.
Said Dr. McCrea: “I know that many travellers feel very angry and frustrated at the manner they were treated and were told of the cancellation of the flights, and I also feel the same. Indeed many ordinary travellers were left without money, flights or information as to how they were able to continue their journey across the Atlantic or other planned destinations.
“I feel the travelling public have been treated in a disgraceful manner and deserve to at least have their lost fares refunded.”
The DUP representative said passengers should be assisted by the Association of Travel Agents.
“I accept that airlines like all industry and indeed individuals are facing the oil crisis crunch. However, to allow an airline to go bust and strand thousands of ordinary people without any warning is an intolerable and disgraceful situation,” he concluded.
