Australia’s new low-cost airline Bonza aims for mid-2022 launch

Australia’s new low-cost airline Bonza aims for mid-2022 launch
Oct 12, 2021, 02:29 PMFair point that the 737 MAX could be too large for many of these routes between smaller cities and towns, but then if it's only flying 2-3 days a week there's a better chance to get higher loads compared to a daily service.

Oct 12, 2021, 02:25 PMVery good point Sid, my brother runs his business out of the NSW north coast, there are a lot of businesses around there, eg Port Macquarie and Coffs Harbour, it's not as if there's nothing but beach shacks there. Plus there'd be more people these days who can run a business from home there inste...

Melbourne Airport to remove T3 security, forcing all passengers via T4
Aug 04, 2021, 05:44 PMSadly I have to agree, Melbourne Airport knows what it can get away with and probably have a good idea of what people are willing to put up with.

Which aircraft is best for an overnight flight: Airbus A330, A350, Boeing 777...
Jun 26, 2019, 02:40 PMOriginally Posted by Grannular What cabin? What airline? Sorry, it would be business class. I'm flexible on the airline, it's just that having to step off a 'red-eye' flight and pretty much go straight to work means I really need to make sure I get a good sleep. I appreciate that each airline ha...
