Bonza has launched flights between Melbourne (MEL)
and Tamworth (TMW), Australia.
The airline will operate the new route with two
flights per week on Tuesdays
and Fridays, with one way fares starting from A$59 per person.
“The flights will create a significant link for
all travellers including those on business trips, locals planning
their next holiday and will create more opportunity to welcome
additional tourism to our region from new markets,” said Tamworth
Region Mayor Russell Webb. “We are very pleased to welcome a low-cost carrier like Bonza
to the region – increasing our connectivity.”
Customers and guests onboard the historic flight
were greeted by the local community including country music star
and Bonza Local Legend Ashleigh Dallas.
“This is the first time Melbourne Airport has had
a direct link to Tamworth and these new flights will help connect
families, friends, business, tourists and music lovers,” said
Lorie Argus, Melbourne Airport CEO.
“As Australia’s capital of culture, Melbourne shares a natural
connection with the nation’s capital of country music, and we
think this new route will strike the right chord with people
looking to explore different parts of the country.”
Bonza will also launch flights between Tamworth
and the Sunshine Coast (MCY) on Saturday, 6 May with one way fares from
A$49 per
person. The weekly service will increase to two flights per week
from 14 May with Bonza taking off on Tuesdays and Fridays.
“We are thrilled to launch our first ever flight
to Tamworth from our second base at Melbourne Tullamarine.
From today, Aussies living in the New England region can take
advantage of low-cost flights to Melbourne for their favourite
sporting events, theatre shows and food adventures,” said Bonza
CEO, Tim Jordan. “Melbournians can now explore Australia’s
backyard with a country NSW experience including Australian
Country Music Hall of Fame, the Big Golden Guitar, art galleries
and museums. From Tamworth, travellers can take in the wide open
spaces of the New England region including World-Heritage listed
National Parks.”
