Bus schedule.What schedule?
I am sure they can continue to run a flying bus service between Sunshine Brisbane and Gold Coast, they should be pretty good with this now after so many weeks?"Mr Jordan apologised to customers, saying Bonza was trying to find a way to keep flying."
Bonza budget airline cancels flights across the country as it considers 'viability' of business
Bus schedule.
Wait, isn't the bus coming this morning?
And as a wild guess 777 Partners will not lose 1 cent for the Flair or Bonza experiment.Interestingly at the same time 777 Partners have now lent £200m to Everton FC in the UK, who they have been trying to buy.
Everton's loans from 777 Partners exceed £200m after fresh injection of capital
The American-based investment group have provided further financial assistance and hope to complete a deal by the end of Mayinews.co.uk
777 also have an investment in the Melbourne Victory, who Bonza have sponsored.

Aircraft seizures
On March 11, 2023, Airborne Capital Ltd. seized four of its planes operated by Flair over alleged non-payment. In a press conference, Flair CEO Stephen Jones suggested the seizures were motivated by competitors, and that the airline owed around US$1 million on the leases, and was in the process of making payment when the seizures occurred.[24][25] The lessor, Airborne alleged that Flair had repeatedly missed payments amounting to several millions of dollars over a period of five months. Flair used other aircraft to continue to operate its schedule.[26] In January 2024, it was reported that the lessors had filed claims at the UK High Court for costs and that there had been outstanding payments of $1.8 million on the four aircraft when notice of default was served.[27]

And paying for a Maxx Murder flight on a shoddy airline was always a dumb idea to begin with.
Oh, I’m not aware of any such thing either. But the Max is an inherently unsafe aircraft so I wouldn’t set foot on one, no matter which airline.I understand that you’re not a fan of the Boeing 737 MAX aircraft. But just for the record, I’m not aware of any reported serious safety incidents relating to Bonza flights? As far as I can tell, they were not an unsafe airline operation.
Just waiting now for all the articles in the media about all the cheapies who had “no idea” and are now crying about missing Mother’s Day. Yawn, you get what you pay for. And paying for a Maxx Murder flight on a shoddy airline was always a dumb idea to begin with.

And they have kicked too many own goalsI think the blame towards the duopoly isn’t valid. They barely operated alongside them.
It’s purely an own Bonza goal.
Sorry to people in the country towns, but they are generally older and not good with computers, many even refuse to use smart phones, and here we have an airline which refused to have a web site basically until last month.Utterly predictable outcome of an airline that chose not to have a web site
Yeah, this is another one of those dumb ideas, even a year 11 school kid who does business studies would know this is stupid.over-extended itself with too few aircraft and then couldn't operate as per its schedule
If others are doing $799, I don't even know why were they doing $100 or $59. They could have asked for $300 and people would still have bought.,if your business model was to offer say MQL-OOL or say MEL-MCY fares for say $199 wouldn't you want to be shouting that from the rooftops when your competitors can only offer fares via SYD or MEL for $799 ?
Fair enough, maybe I’m a bit too cynical here. But in this case, the warning signs have really been all over.That's harsh. You could just say nobody should fly a new airline - in which case a new airline can never become a stable airline. I remember being similarly sceptical of Scoot - and would never have dared to buy a Scoot ticket - but I'm glad others did.
