BONZA

[Greg Hyde]

With the demise of Bonza you must remember that Bonza employees no longer have a job, those who live in the country no longer have a fast direct air service, holiday towns no longer have the knock-on effect of tourists brought into the area and reduced competition in the airline market.

Staff are not being paid Aprils wages, and I fell sorry for them but at least GEARS will kick in. Apart from that I have no sympathy, Bonza promised a reality that doesn’t exist, some of their routes Jetgo couldn’t get to work! Once again a heap of money has been poured down the drain, most of it from the customers who had faith! They didn’t compete, and fares are not effected apart from this weeks stranded desperate Bonza customers.

Definitely, even neighbouring airports have seen a significant jump in air fares.

Tractor is gone, just concrete barriers at the front of each aircraft. Also Bruce/C-FLHI doesn’t have two pieces of paper taped to the front door, while the other two do.

Nice pictures, at least the rain stopped for you.

Nobody told those looking after the a/c, that they can be pushed backwards to clear the concrete blocks.

You need to get a pushback in there first

[Brenden S]

Clearly those who put the blocks there don't know that there are tow points on the rear of the main gear......

The people with tugs are owned money so it’s a moot point

Bonza has been removed as operator of VH-UJT & VH-UKH on the Australian registry.
VH-UIK & VH-UJK so far still on the Australian registry.
