In these pandemic times, the last business you’d think of entering the market is a new airline

But for Australia’s new budget airline, Bonza, the sky truly is your limit. 

Thousands of travellers have had their say about the new low-cost carrier ahead of its launch in the first half of 2022. 

Since Bonza was announced in mid-October, thousands of potential future customers signed up to learn more about the airline and what’s on offer.

Many completing an online survey to nominate their preferred Bonza destinations.

That’s in addition to over 3,600 Aussies who registered their interest in jobs

Bonza has revealed where Aussie travellers say they’d like the low-cost carrier to fly to and from. 

Being considered are destinations that spread far and wide across the country from Hobart to Broome, and Busselton to Cairns.

They also include travel from the regions with places like Albury, Tamworth, the Bundaberg and Newcastle all on the consideration list. 

The airline, backed by US firm 777 partners plans to use the Boeing  737 Max, an aircraft that’s had its fair share of bad press.

Chief Commercial Officer Carly Povey spoke to Ticker News’ Ahron Young – and says the 737 MAX is the aircraft of choice.

Bonza is currently in negotiations to firm up its launch route map

In parallel with airport discussions, the airlines leadership team continues to have conversations with State and Territory Governments to confirm where it’ll set up it’s head office

The industry has had its fair share of devastation, with the collapse of multiple airlines around the world.

Meanwhile the Australian aviation sector is set to slowly recover as state and international borders reopen, as the COVID vaccine rollout continues.
