Bonza has taken to the sky for the first time, with a plane full of excited passengers. ✈️ The inaugural flight comes days after the airline went on sale for the first time with more than 10,000 seats already booked. Details here:
Bonza, the first new carrier to launch in Australia in 16 years, has taken to the skies for its first passenger flight, just four days after opening up bookings to the public.
It is the first new airline to launch in Australia since the now-defunct Tigerair in 2007, which shut down due to the pandemic. When we arrive at Sunshine Coast Airport check-in is swift and crowd-free – while this is a public flight with real customers, a significant portion of today's passengers are media and commercial partners, and they've arrived early, forming a growing media scrum at the departure gate.
Once connected to the onboard WiFi, you can access the Bonza entertainment system – a simple, if slim, catalogue of podcasts, audio series and online self-improvement video workshops . You can also order inflight meals, drinks, snacks and purple Bonza Budgie Smugglers . The airline's first seats went on sale on Friday, January 27, with flights to Port Macquarie and Rockhampton starting from $49 one-way.It is currently offering bookings for 15 routes to 12 destinations, with travel dates up to late October 2023. Bookings can only be made through the airline's app or through registered travel agents.
