Cheap flights as Bonza launches its first major city route (Traveller)

Flights out of Melbourne are set to become more affordable as Bonza launches its first of nine routes from the city.

Sydney Airport has no planned routes with Bonza at this stage. A Sydney Airport spokesperson said they would like to see Bonza operating from Sydney but that the reality is that the airport is one of the most constrained and regulated in the world. The challenge for new entrants at Sydney Airport isn't limited to Bonza, but also new international entrants and domestic carriers such as Rex. The Melbourne-Sunshine Coast service will be the only Melbourne Bonza route operating from Avalon Airport, with the remaining eight routes to launch from Melbourne Airport (Tullamarine). Melbourne Airport (Tullamarine) is the only major Australian airport to partner with Bonza. Bonza chief executive Tim Jordan described the launch as "a significant milestone" for the airline, marking the first of nine new routes planned for Melbourne, including direct services to Bundaberg, Gladstone, Mackay and Port Macquarie.
