Come Fly With Me, Legend!

The country’s only independent and low-cost airline is searching for a Mackay legend!

Bonza airlines are closing in on their launch day and are asking for Mackay’s help to spread the good word about the region.

They’ll crown one passionate person as the ‘Bonza Local Legend’ and have them join a group of 16 other legends - one from each destination on Bonza’s route map.

Bonza are asking Mackay local legends to upload a 30 second or less video to Facebook or Instagram and tag @FlyBonza with #BonzaLocalLegends to show fellow Aussies why they should visit on holiday.

The winning legend will gain free VIP flights on the first-ever flight from Mackay alongside three other mates or family members of their choosing.

Bonza said they plan to work alongside their appointed legend to help put the region firmly on the map, as well as taking onboard the legend’s sage advice.

Legends will share their opinion on deserving members of the community to also be on the inaugural flight, join important taste testing of the all Aussie menu and road test the airline’s first ever uniform.

They’ll also potentially feature in upcoming video content promoting destinations that Mackay locals can visit with a direct low-cost Bonza flight: Sunshine Coast, Cairns, and Melbourne.

Speaking this morning, Carly Povey, Chief Commercial Officer at Bonza said they wanted any “legend, larrikin, or personality about town” to come forward.

“We’re looking for big hearts, welcoming arms and people who aren’t shy to give it a go and promote their slice of Allstralia,” Ms Povey said.

Adrian Miles, Head of Operations Mackay Airport said this was “a great opportunity for a Mackay local to help spread the word about all the fantastic things in our region and why they should fly Bonza to come and visit.”
