The original founders were two Scottish brothers, Hugh and John Boyle. The brothers had previously started and sold two travel companies in the UK.
The company was owned by Hugh Boyle.
In August, 2008, Zoom Airlines filed for bankruptcy protection.
In January, 2009 Globe Span Capital announced it acquired Zoom Airlines. In March 2009, Zoom relaunched as XPO Airlines; however, it has yet to recommence flight operations.
