So looks like Bonza airline is going to go bust. Honestly apart from flying routes without the required critical mass, maybe if their branding wasn't a complete joke with cringe Aussie jingoism they might have done better. Just sayin.

Not a good news story, we need more competition in domestic aviation. But I feel like Bonza never stood a chance. Strange route choices and being forced to book via an app, among other issues.

TBH, I'd fly with Satan Airlines if they were a viable 3rd party competitor. But Satan airlines needs to be going where I'm going. Bonza never did.

Maybe I should start an airline called Jezebel Airways.

Prometheus transport.

But Satan airlines needs to be going where I’m going.

Hahaha. Pretty much where most of us are headed…

I just didn’t feel like they had a very good model to begin with. I had to download their app to look to at their availability and pricing. That didn’t help. The app was terrible.

I can’t remember what happened to Tiger Air, but that was okay as far as that lasted for budget airlines. I don’t remember it being as hard to find or book a flight with them.
