Jetstar looking at Toowoomba

[Saab34]

Talks are underway apparently. Melbourne only.

Bonza had around 60% loads on the Melbourne run, however JQ has better reach so I think would crack that 80% mark.

Bundaberg-Melbourne was often another Bonza success story. Hoping they might look at this one also.

Makes perfect sense for JQ to use Bonza's experiment as free market research, and add service on the routes that actually worked!

I wouldn't be surprised if WTB is offering them a good discount, they don't have a lot of traffic out there right now!

Pre covid they had Air North links to both Melbourne and Townsville plus an often double daily service on Qantas Dash 8 to SYD. During covid the Air North flights basically ended and Qantas has now dropped to just 4x per week plus the odd Rex milk run (and a lot of very light aircraft apart of the training school).

Bonza tried WTB to PPP for about 6 months and towards the end it was just MEL and TSV both of which only existed for 12 months before the collapse.

Cathay has run a weekly 747 freighter for a while now and during the height covid they also had a few more freight flights with SQ running some A350s under the same flight number usually used for BNE passenger flights.

Bonza and success story is an Oxymoron. Loads are one thing, yields another. Wellcamp doesn’t have the population base to support sustainable operations to most destinations.
