What about the budgie smugglers? Are they still for sale?Just announced by Hall Chadwick (the accounting firm who has taken administration of Bonza) that all flights are grounded until at least Thursday, and that customers shouldn't go to the airport even if they have bookings.
VA is a shoe in to take over Bonza.
What's left to takeover?VA is a shoe in to take over Bonza.
I do agree broadly however I do have to point out that MCY is council owned so if they are left short by Bonza that will have an impact on everyone in the community.I, for one, couldn’t give a flying f about MCY airport or any other major corporation right now. There are a lot of families who are now without a job and probably without recent pay or entitlements. Even more sad is that, for many of them, this would be the second time in exactly four years. The fact that a poster here felt the need to laugh at that above is really telling of Australia’s long standing “tall poppy” issue.
I certainly hope everyone here, who cross airline staff on a fairly regular basis, takes a moment to have these people in their thoughts tonight.
Already happened with the appointment, but VA is all about the administrator digging insolvent businesses out of a hole and finding new owners, but first finding out whether there is any chance they can be dug out. I doubt very much there is.VA* is a shoe in to take over Bonza.
*Voluntary Administration

I had 5 jobs in the 12 months period of 2019-2020, due to a mix of contracts, and COVID. And they were also a mixed of private sectors and being a public servant (yes, the government fired me because of COVID arriving)
Being made redundant again and again is nothing new, and was already the norm before COVID.
Welcome to year 2024.
Guess what? You get made redundant, you get another job. Remember the 13 bus drivers who all went to Forest Coach Lines (now CDC) to drive timetabled buses?

Unlikely. Temasek like to buy in well before the voluntary administration phase of the new australian airline cycle, when the price is still highMaybe SQ will buy it and they’ll join Star Alliance!
There you’ve just mentioned another flaw!In short they needed more than relying on the feel good Aussie "bogan" approach to their business model.

Well SQ has disposed of a 737 to REX (when that lease finished up) and leased another 2 737s out to REX directly.Maybe SQ will buy it and they’ll join Star Alliance!
