The incumbents of Qantas, Jetstar and Virgin are just not going to let go of their surplus slots at Kingsford-Smith Airport without a fight.

Failing that, Bonza will most certainly operate out of the brand new Western Sydney Airport at Badgerys Creek when she finally opens in 2026. kzread.info/dash/bejne/eZetlttrYrqbp7w.htmlsi=rhKCYXW4NdEtl-NG

Bonza serves 17 destinations, yet only has 4 Boeing 737s in service. When you fly with Bonza, you are certainly taking a risk with delays as they have no redundancy with spare aircraft. When one flight is delayed, all other flights relying on the same aircraft for that day will be delayed as well. ✈️

Tulla-Sunny is close to the only route Bonza actually went into competition on (directly), as Deathstar do that route as well. The Max just seems like too big an aircraft for many of their routes, and only a couple of days a week (plus being app only, so no agreements with expedia, skyscanner, etc) might mean people don't look at them.
