“It’s important that Aussie travellers know we’re on sale, not having a sale. We’re committed to low-cost fares which will, in turn, stimulate new markets for Australia’s domestic tourism industry. We’re confident whenever customers choose to travel, all our fares and not just our starting fares will represent great value,” Povey said.
Only a few more days until takeoff… #Bonza is taking flight towards sustainability and swapping out single-use cups for TURN reusable ones on all flights! ✈️
