Bonza delays Darwin-Gold Coast flights for the third time

Budget airline Bonza has once again delayed the start of its Darwin-Gold Coast flights. This comes just four days before the flights were meant to commence. Flights from the top end capital are now scheduled to commence on March 19. The airline was lured to the Northern Territory with support from its $10 million aviation attraction scheme – but it has already cancelled the start of service twice. Northern Territory Opposition Leader Lia Finocchiaro called the scheme a disaster and a waste of taxpayer money.
