Bonza budget carrier’s collapse is officially confirmed

Budget carrier Bonza has been permanently grounded, 18 months after promising cheaper flights and routes not serviced by major Australian airlines. Creditors on Tuesday voted to liquidate the embattled airline after administrators Hall Chadwick failed to secure a buyer — with staff still owed millions of dollars. “The administrators ran an extensive sales campaign involving numerous investors, other airlines and companies from the travel industry,” a Hall Chadwick spokesman said in a statement.

“The finality of Bonza’s collapse is a sad event for Australia’s aviation industry, but brings the certainty workers needed to access the fair entitlements guarantee scheme for their owed entitlements, including wages for work completed in April,” union national secretary Michael Kaine said in a statement. US-based major creditor 777 Partners has been contacted for comment.
