Bonza Airlines is more than just an airline; it's a vibrant community that extends well beyond our 320+ direct staff members. Our family includes ground handlers, catering teams, maintenance crews, and many other contractors across every port we fly to. Each person, whether directly employed or contracted, contributes passionately to our shared mission, demonstrating daily the spirit of innovation and dedication that defines Bonza.
We're not merely employees and partners; we are pioneers who took on the formidable challenge of transforming the aviation landscape in Australia—a market many deemed too tough to crack. Contrary to common narratives, I don’t believe we were failing. Mistakes, yes. Failing, I don’t think so. Our efforts to make air travel more affordable and accessible, particularly in regional areas, were not only succeeding but also thriving, changing lives and connecting communities in unprecedented ways. When you think about Bonza, like us, you need to think about our customers too. So many of them will be affected by this.
The recent upheaval isn’t a reflection of our performance but rather the result of external forces beyond our control. This disruption is not a mark of failure, but rather an interruption to a success story in the making. Now, more than ever, we need to rally together, extending our support not just to our direct staff, but to the entire network of dedicated individuals who make our mission possible, and the customers of Bonza.
Don’t write Bonza off as an inevitable failure. Give us the benefit of the doubt and ask questions. I personally cannot imagine how anyone on our management team benefits from Bonza going under. From the top all the way down, Bonza is full of passionate people on a mission to achieve something very very difficult, but not impossible. I believe in the Australian integrity or our management and everyone at Bonza.
Let’s stand united to keep our purple heart beating strong. We are Bonza, still soaring, still striving, and far from finished.
