Flight AB 001 makes history at Sunshine Coast Airport
Bonza’s first plane has landed at Sunshine Coast Airport, landing a massive coup for our region. In one of the largest launch announcements in Australian aviation history, Sunshine Coast Airport was in February named the first Bonza base and headquarters location for the nation’s only independent airline. The arrival of the first plane, which left Seattle on July 29, flew to Honolulu on July 30 and then left Fiji Monday morning, marking an important milestone for the company and supporting the ongoing momentum with the regulatory process. It is the first Boeing 737 MAX based in Australia and will be part of a fleet of new and fuel-efficient aircraft. They will serve Australian travelers flying to an initial 17 destinations across 27 routes. Destinations that will soon be available to Coast residents are: (Queensland) Cairns, Townsville, Mackay, Whitsundays Coast, Rockhampton; (NSW) Port Coffs, Port Macquarie, Newcastle, Albury, Tamworth; (Victoria) Melbourne, Avalon and Mildura.
