Bonza cancels flights across Australia amid discussions about airline’s future

Budget airline Bonza has abruptly cancelled all flights, leaving passengers stranded at airports around the country.
Bonza CEO Tim Jordan has released a statement on the issue.
“Bonza has temporarily suspended services due to be operated today (Tuesday 30th of April), as discussions are currently underway regarding the viability of the business,” he said.
“We apologise to our customers who are impacted by this, and we’re working as quickly as possible to determine a way forward that ensures there is ongoing competition in the Australian domestic aviation market.”
Transport Minister Catherine King has also released a statement, saying Qantas and Virgin airlines “stand ready to assist stranded passengers”.

Wow, they didn’t last, was this a stitch-up for the Australian people, never trust this airline again

Predicted this months ago! You can't expect any airline to survive these days when it promotes itself as a "budget" airline. Service has to go... Maintenance has to go... Food has to go... Luggage has to go etc. etc. etc.

It's a no brainer, for, in particularly new airline flying into new markets will eventually face difficulties, due to lack of demand in those markets. No?

!BANZAI!

Don’t think it was wise to build the airline entirely out of Boeing MAXs. That is why I don’t fly with them, same for people I know.

The name was stupid anyway, I would never have paid to go on a flight that sounded like dodgy bros airlines, I’m sure others felt the same. Qantas must be laughing though, no competition as usual.
