Zorex Air Transport

Zorex Air Transport (ZOREX S.A.) is a Spanish air charter company founded in 1996 and headquartered in Madrid, with its operational base at Zaragoza Airport. The company was legally registered with the objective of providing efficient and fair air transport services for cargo, passengers and medical evacuations, in accordance with applicable air regulations. It holds an Air Operator Certificate (B) under EC Regulation 965/2012 and operates its aircraft with experienced professional pilots, supported by its own EASA-145 maintenance organization. The Spanish Airworthiness Authorities (AESA) conduct regular inspections and audits to ensure compliance with international aviation standards. Zorex's business is built around three configurable service lines: Express Cargo, Air Taxi and Medical Evacuation. Its express cargo charters can quote a flight 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, carry payloads up to 18 m³ (about seven standard Europallets) to destinations in Europe and North Africa, and take off within 75 minutes of flight confirmation. The air taxi service targets business travellers for whom time is a priority, while the medical evacuation service is offered to individual travellers, corporations and insurance companies. The company also holds a TRTO licence for pilot training and runs its own maintenance operation at its Zaragoza base, which services both its own fleet and aircraft of other airlines. Historically, Zorex operated a fleet of two Metro II (SA-226-TC) aircraft powered by TPE-331-10UA turboprop engines. The airline has been noted for flying urgently needed automotive parts to Peugeot plants. As of August 2023, according to German Wikipedia, Zorex no longer owned any aircraft. The company has faced regulatory scrutiny: in March 2011 the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) identified serious safety deficiencies and initiated withdrawal of its AOC; the AOC was withdrawn on 7 November 2011 after corrective measures were deemed unsatisfactory, though the airline was later allowed to fly again. On 13 November 2012, an aircraft with registration EC-JYC was severely damaged during takeoff at Murcia-San Javier Airport, with no personal injury, and was subsequently parked; the accident was also attributed to safety deficiencies.

On 7 October 2011, it was reported that Zorex had made improvements. However, on 7 November 2011, the AOC was withdrawn because the corrective measures were not satisfactory. The airline was later allowed to fly again. On 13 November 2012, an aircraft with registration EC-JYC was severely damaged during takeoff at Murcia-San Javier Airport in Spain, with no personal injury; the aircraft was subsequently parked.
