Just over two weeks ago, Australia's newest airline, Bonza, announced that it would be cancelling all scheduled flights across Australia and soon after entered voluntary administration.
In a statement, Bonza revealed the leases to its planes had been unexpectedly terminated due to defaulting on its loans the previous month.
While other airlines have manged to survive administration, Bonza has experienced a number of issues in recent times which have been detrimental to public confidence, making it harder to continue under the same branding in the future.
In the days following Bonza's shock announcement, AP's Managing Director Keith Tonkin was contacted by media outlets to provide expert commentary on the event and what impacts it may have on the airline industry.
