In great news for the Victorian and regional Australian travelling public, new Australian start up low cost airline Bonza has today launched flights from its second new base at Melbourne’s main Tullamarine Airport. Today’s launch flight out of Melbourne which first took off for its home base on the Sunshine Coast comes as the airline celebrates a major early milestone with the sale of its first ever 100,00 seats on the FlyBonza App. Two aircraft will operate from Melbourne taking customers to 11 destinations on 12 routes whilst Melburnians can now take advantage of nine Bonza routes – seven of which are not being offered by any other airline.
In marking the momentous occasion Tim Jordan, CEO of Bonza said “Our team of legends have been working hard to set up and launch our second base at Melbourne Tullamarine. The Victorian capital is our second home and based here are a number of cabin crew, pilots and first officers who get to come home after a day travelling to regional destinations on our route map,”
