The two planes came from Flair Airlines in Canada and Bonza had negotiated to keep them both in Australia and issue the jets with local VH- registrations.
However, one has since returned to Canada and Bonza appears to have underestimated the time needed to secure CASA approval for the second.
Bonza has now had to cut some ex-Gold Coast frequencies to suit its existing four-aircraft fleet.
Destinations affected (ie, seeing fewer weekly frequencies) so far are Cairns, Mackay, Townsville, Proserpine, Launceston, Melbourne Avalon and Melbourne Tullamarine.
