New player on the horizon: low-cost airline ‘Bonza’ prepares for takeoff in early 2022

There’s a new budget airline that is preparing to launch in Australia.
And to all Aussies out there who have been itching to travel for far too long, you might want to remember the name Bonza.

Post-pandemic travel does not need to be expensive with this new airline on the horizon.
Backed by Miami-based private investment firm 777 Partners, low-cost carrier Bonza hopes to gain traction in the Australian market as the nation emerges from continuous lockdowns.
The airline will start selling tickets in early 2022.
Customers can expect to fly on a Boeing 737-800 aircraft, allowing the airline to offer ultra-low prices while reducing its carbon footprint.
However, Bonza will not be serving any international routes, claiming that it exists to allow Aussies to see more of their own backyard. But the firm is currently in discussions with more than 40 airports to gauge preliminary interest.
Following the closure of Virgin-owned Tigerair Australia last year, Bonza hopes to become the nation’s budget carrier of choice.
Bonza aims to rival the low ticket prices sold by the likes of EasyJet and RyanAir on short-haul European routes. Photo retrieved from Man of Many.
Bonza is reportedly basing its headquarters in regional Australia and as such, the airline’s focus seems to be on bridging the traditionally hard-to-get wonders of Down Under.
Flying the all-economy Boeing 737-8 MAX jets across a network of regional destinations means reunions with family and friends might not have to be organised in the cities. This is good news for those living outside the east coast triangle of Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane!
CEO and founder, Tim Jordan, said he was excited to start bringing people together again.
“Bonza will deliver enormous benefits to all Australians, but particularly to regional communities by providing new routes and greater travel opportunities,” he said.
“Bonza will also play a leading role in Australia‘s post-pandemic economic recovery – creating jobs, stimulating travel and consumer spending and helping regional communities, especially those that rely on tourism, get back on their feet.”
