Bonza Airlines customers are being told they can fly home on Qantas and Virgin airlines, after the budget airline suddenly cancelled all flights earlier today, with passengers only finding out on arrival for their flights this morning.
Following an emergency board meeting Bonza has now gone into voluntary administration.
Bonza was launched in Australia early last year by a US private equity firm - 777 Partners - but today the company that leased its jets to Bonza moved to repossess the planes in Australia.
