Bonza has launched flights between Melbourne
Tullamarine Airport (MEL) and Mildura (MQL), Australia.
The airline will operate the route with thrice
weekly flights on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, with fares
starting from A$49 per person, one way.
“If you live in Melbourne or Mildura and have been
putting off seeing the rellies or having a holiday at home, now is
the perfect time to grab a low cost flight. Whether you’re hiring a
houseboat on the Murray River and exploring Mildura’s wineries, or
indulging in Melbourne’s galleries and cafes – it is now more
affordable than before,” said Carly Povey, Bonza’s Chief
Commercial Officer.
Bonza has recently launched a number of flights
from Melbourne Airport, including services to Rockhampton,
Port Macquarie, Sunshine Coast, Tamworth and Toowoomba Wellcamp.
Later this week, Bonza will launch services between the Victorian
capital and Bundaberg and Gladstone, with a new route to Mackay
taking off on 23 May.
Bonza also operates a direct flight
between both Avalon and Mildura and the Sunshine Coast.
“The Mildura community is very excited to welcome
Bonza to the vital link between our region and the State Capital,”
said Trevor Wilcock, CEO of Mildura Airport.
“Eight out of 10 travellers through our airport currently connect
to Melbourne and this new link further enhances the essential ties
between the two cities. It is great news for our region!”
Jim Parashos, Melbourne Airport’s Chief of
Aviation, said, “Bonza is doing things differently and Melbourne
Airport is proud to be the only capital city on the airline’s
launch network. The extra capacity and competition Bonza brings to this route with its Boeing 737 MAX aircraft will
help more tourists, families, farm workers and businesses to
connect, which is great for Melbourne, Mildura and the broader
state economy.”
