Australia's airline regulator the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) has moved to clarify the status of the certification to fly of the country's new airline start-up Bonza.

"We continue to work on the Air Operators Certificate application filed by Bonza in April. The airline has revised its schedule and is now working to a mid-October target but this is subject to the clarification of several issues. A new AOC is a complex and detailed process to ensure Bonza meets the aviation standards expected by Australian travellers," CASA said.

Bonza lodged its application for an air operator’s certificate (AOC) with the Civil Aviation Safety Authority on April 17 2022.

A new AOC is multifaceted and complex. It involves a specialised team that is carefully reviewing processes and documents to ensure Bonza meets the aviation safety standards expected by Australian travellers.

About AirlineRatings.com

Airlineratings.com was developed to provide everyone in the world 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 230 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.
