Customers on one of the six routes overlapping with the Qantas group network were also being offered a complimentary seat on either QantasLink or Jetstar flights. At least nine flights in and out of Queensland’s busy tourism airports at the Gold and Sunshine Coasts were nixed on Tuesday following similar cancellations on Monday.
“We remain committed to growing our network and securing new routes and services to connect people, places and communities – particularly across regional Australia.” Passenger Tracey Hilbert was supposed to fly with Bonza after her father died overnight but instead was stranded at Melbourne's Tullamarine airport on Tuesday.
“With all these cancellations, not just this morning … The news doesn’t look that good, but we haven’t heard anything official yet,” Mr Turner said.
