Bonza Blazes Our Way

New budget airline, Bonza, is gearing up for take-off following a series of test flights which took place over Whitsunday airspace earlier this week.

The Sunshine Coast based airline, which had postponed launch dates due to delayed delivery of its brand-new planes from America, is now taking to the skies with the latest test flights an indication that the official launch is imminent.

The next stage in the process is the final tick from Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA).

Whitsunday Regional Council Chief Operating Officer of Aviation and Tourism, Craig Turner, said that he is excited to welcome Bonza Airlines soon.

“We can’t wait to get notification from Bonza when the official date will be,” he said.

“We promise them a huge welcome to the Whitsundays when they arrive and look forward to an ongoing partnership.”

Dates for the first Bonza flight expected to be announced soon
