Budget airline Bonza has launched passenger flights in and out of Mildura airport today, making it easier for travellers to access the Sunshine Coast.
abc.net.au/news/bonza-airline-budget-flights-mildura-sunshine-coast/102184568After years of disruption due to the pandemic and the recent summer flood crisis, north-west Victoria looks on track to make more money from tourism with today's launch of budget airline Bonza in Mildura.
"It means I'll be able to visit my mother more, which I haven't been able to do recently, and particularly COVID made it really difficult here," she said."Being able to come so quickly rather than having to travel from the [Tullamarine airport] or anything like that is so much easier.The first Bonza flight arrives at Mildura airport from the Sunshine Coast.
"The last three years have been very difficult for tourism operators, particularly with border closures between New South Wales and Victoria and then more easily with floods, but the operators are extremely resilient, very passionate and determined to get on."The launch proved to be perfect timing for nippers from the Mooloolaba Surf Life Saving Club, who made their first interstate networking trip.
