Sheila is home for Christmas

Bonza’s third aircraft Sheila has arrived at Sunshine Coast Airport – completing the family of initial aircraft to be based at the low-cost carrier’s backyard.

Sheila’s arrival marked the completion of the Sunshine Coast base’s initial fleet which will progressively take to the skies, subject to regulatory approval.

“Sheila completes our family of aircraft at Sunshine Coast Airport as we prepare to get wheels up from Bonza’s backyard on the Sunny Coast.

“Our next two aircraft will be based at our second home, Melbourne Airport and we’ll share news on that in the New Year,” Bonza chief commercial officer Carla Povey said.

“Like her companions Shazza and Bazza, Sheila was named by our purple army of fans on social media,” Ms Povey said.

While respecting the regulatory process, the airline continues with its readiness activities in anticipation of connecting communities through low-cost flights.

Aussies are encouraged to download the Fly Bonza app and sign up to be the first to know when flights are on sale.
