A new era in Queensland tourism and aviation has launched with Sunshine Coast-based Bonza starting flights to and from 17 destinations, including nine in regional Queensland.
Bonza’s first Queensland flight took off yesterday (Tuesday 31st January 2023) from Sunshine Coast Airport for the Whitsundays.
In good news for Rockhampton, Bonza’s Queensland base opens up new direct services within Queensland and connections to the southern states.
As a low-cost airline, Bonza has terrific potential to boost intra and interstate arrivals to world-famous destinations including the Sunshine Coast, Toowoomba, the Southern Great Barrier Reef, Central Queensland and the north.
Aviation is critical to tourism in Queensland with Bonza’s formula for affordable, direct flights set to be welcomed by travellers and regional tourism operators alike.
Services to the Sunshine Coast Airport and regional cities including Gladstone, Bundaberg, Rockhampton, Mackay, Whitsunday Coast, Cairns, Toowoomba Wellcamp and Townsville are predicted by Bonza to inject $86 million to the regional Queensland economy during the airline’s first year of operation.
Bonza CEO Tim Jordan said Bonza would connect communities, make air travel accessible and stimulate new tourism markets with a focus on regional Australia.
“Our initial route map includes 17 destinations and 27 routes – 93 per cent of which are not currently served by any other airline and 96 per cent of which currently have no low-cost carrier,” he said.
Nine of Bonza’s 17 initial destinations are in regional Queensland and include Rockhampton, Gladstone, Bundaberg, Mackay, Whitsunday Coast, Cairns, Toowoomba Wellcamp and Townsville.
