In Australia, Bonza's small fleet of 737-Max 8s are headed overseas after administrator Hall Chadwick failed to negotiate a short-term agreement with the lessor to let the airline fly again.


A creditors' meeting will be held on Friday, May 10 as the administration process continues.

The airline entered voluntary administration and "temporarily suspended" services after AIP Capital terminated the aircraft leases on April 29.

In an email to staff, Bonza ceo Tim Jordan said no legal intervention to keep the aircraft had been deemed possible and the planes would be leaving their Sunshine Coast, Gold Coast and Melbourne bases.

"The administrators are very focused on doing all possible to get us back into the Australian skies, and there are several ways this can progress forward," the email read.

Hall Chadwick has told staff that discussions with potential buyers are still ongoing.
