Budget airline Bonza has entered voluntary administration after it left hundreds of travellers stranded at major airports across the country.
On Tuesday morning, Bonza passengers departing the Sunshine Coast, Gold Coast, Melbourne and Avalon arrived to find their flights cancelled.
Bonza CEO Tim Jordan said the move was “temporary” and discussions were “underway regarding the ongoing viability of the business”.
But it emerged on Tuesday afternoon that external administrators Hall Chadwick had been appointed, according to documents filed with the Australian Securities and Investments Commission.
