Reports today bonza ahas cancelled all flights.

I wonder if they are now  automatically given 20 million dollars or is that only given to profitable airlines like Qantas under Lnp government?

It's true:

Australia's new budget airline Bonza has suddenly cancelled all of its flights amid talks about the future viability of the company.

The sudden cancellation of flights has potentially left thousands of passengers stranded at airports across the country.

Chief executive Tim Jordan said all flights have been 'temporarily suspended' and the airline may not be able to continue just 15 months after it launched.

'Discussions are currently underway regarding the ongoing viability of the business,' Mr Jordan said on Tuesday.

'We apologise to our customers who are impacted by this and we're working as quickly as possible to determine a way forward that ensures there is ongoing competition in the Australian domestic aviation market.'

Staff were reportedly called into a meeting early this morning.

A Sunshine Coast man, whose wife works for the airline, told the ABC: 'She went to work this morning, as per usual, they just went in — there were two crews there — they were just basically told that Bonza has finished.'

No wonder I've never heard of them - they don't fly to Perth.

Just heard on ABC radio -
they were flying into small towns and small cities that the major airlines avoided
due to low profitability and guess what? -
they were not profitable       -

they lost too much money.
