Bonza has named its first Boeing 737 Shazza after calling for suggestions earlier this month asking Aussies to ‘nick their nicknames’.
A shortlist of the hundreds of suggestions was voted on by the Bonza Local Legends – the airline’s ambassadors in the communities they’ll connect when Shazza and her counterparts take to the skies.*
The Boeing 737-MAX, which touched down earlier this month, is currently having her interiors Bonza-ified including obligatory splashes of purple.
In tandem, the airline is progressing with in-flight and cabin crew training schools, finalising the all-Aussie menu and stress testing the Fly Bonza App which will be the only place customers can book flights (with the exception of local travel agents).
Preparations are also underway to welcome Bonza’s second aircraft imminently.
“Shazza was a clear favourite amongst the Bonza Local Legends who are the eyes and ears of Bonza in the communities where we’ll fly to. I can also reveal that the close runner-up was Bazza! We’re encouraging Aussies to keep an eye in the sky for what could be Shazza’s mate Bazza flying to Australia soon,” said Carly Povey, Chief Commercial Office at Bonza.
Travellers are encouraged to download the Fly Bonza App in preparation for when flights go on sale.

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.
