Bonza Airlines? Not a name to inspire much confidence. Cheap fares, cheap planes, cheap maintenance?

[facthunter]

and Qantas is a good name?. Queensland  And Northern  Territory Airlines. You don't usually use AND. in you name but QNTAS is hard to say.

If BONZA operate here they will operate under the same rules as any other with probably MORE oversight..  Nev

Minor correction, Nev.

Could mean Borrowed Off New Zealand Airways for all I know. Most of these cheap fare startups have had a short life in Australia, but maybe they’ll find a niche market and survive. Time will tell. 

[onetrack]

They'll probably make Jetstar look like 1st class travel. When I see "low cost", it doesn't take long to figure out that every single cost they can think of, is stripped out from their side, and the cost is thrown onto the customer.

[facthunter]

Very quick OK (Just testing you ha ha) Go to or stay at the top of the class.. Anyhow it's a silly name for an airline.

  How's Antipodean Airlines "the airline downunder, where you fly upside down in complete comfort and safety"( Reg Name applied for.) Nev

[facthunter]

I thought that one had been posted. Here tis anyhow. Nev

[Possum1]

What 737 capable airfields in Australia could they possibly be thinking of landing at that aren't serviced by Qantas, Virgin or Jetstar and still get acceptable passenger loads?

I detest QF,  often known as the SkyGods (personnel opinion only) so any Airline that comes along I embrace👍

I believe they're not going for the mainstream routes, and you can get a Dragon Rapide down just about anywhere.

Bonza! This is your Captain, Paul Hogan speaking. The last hijacker thought he had a knife…till I showed him mine! Any complaints, speak to Donk, the chief steward!

[facthunter]

I thought Donk was the engine.. Nev

[F10]

Haha, have I got it wrong, wasn’t that the name of his crazy huge mate in the local pub in Croc Dundee?

One word - Compass!

Ryanair had the worst habit of cutting costs.  They were even considering charging people 2 euro to use the loo.

[onetrack]

Wasn't it Michael O'Leary of Ryanair who proposed having pax stand up? Some of these budget operators are absolutely ruthless, money is the only thing that counts to them.

[turboplanner]

Wasn't Bonza a 1940s term?

Hope diversity doesn't get pushed here or we may see the all-female Sheila Airways.

Just another American company given a free pass into our airspace just as REX are gearing up for regional to capital jet routes. Rex has been servicing the regional areas and doing a good job.

Maybe Rex hasn’t donated to the right election fund.

It could've been worse. They could've called it Cobber Airlines.
