Bonza launched on January 31, 2023, and has four Boeing 737 MAX aircraft with another four on order.

Bonza wrapped up the introduction of its initial 27 routes to 17 destinations on May 23rd after launching services between Tamworth and Sunshine Coast (6 May), Melbourne and Mildura (8 May), Bundaberg (10 May), Gladstone (11 May) and Mackay (23 May). 

The low-cost airline’s business model is based on connecting cities and towns currently not linked with direct flights.

This model has been perfected by Allegiant in the United States.

AirlineRatings.com Editor-in-Chief Geoffrey Thomas said “Bonza has had a positive impact on travel offering Australians a unique set of routes, low fares and great inflight products. Service is excellent and passengers are praising the airline and its cabin crew (below).”

Virtually all the routes the airline flies it has no competition.

Airlineratings.com was developed to provide everyone in the world with a one-stop shop for everything related to airlines, formed by a team of aviation editors, who have forensically researched nearly every airline in the world.

Our rating system is rated from one to seven stars on safety – with seven being the highest ranking. Within each airline, you will find the country of origin, airline code, booking URL and seat map information. The rating system takes into account a number of different factors related to audits from aviation’s governing bodies, lead associations, as well as the airlines, own safety data. Every airline has a safety rating breakdown so you can see exactly how they rate.

Over 360 of the airlines on the site that carry 99 per cent of the world’s passengers have a product rating. Given that low-cost, regional and full-service carriers are so different we have constructed a different rating system for each which can be found within each airline.

Airlineratings.com has information on over 30 types of aircraft from the latest Boeing 787 to the A380 and smaller jets
