The low-cost airline Bonza entered voluntary administration on Tuesday, after abruptly cancelling all of its flights after the repossession of its entire fleet that caught its CEO by surprise.
Passengers were left stranded at a handful of airports when Bonza “temporarily suspended” all services on Tuesday with no notice, as the airline’s owners considered the viability of the business’ future.
Bonza appointed firm Hall Chadwick for the administration process of its operating and holding company, documents filed with the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (Asic) show.
Bonza’s fleet has been grounded until the end of Thursday, with the administrators advising passengers with booking not to turn up to the airport.
