Bonza staff sacked ahead of announcement about airline's future

more than 300 staff have been sacked in a "dark day" for Australia's aviation industry, with an announcement about the collapsed airline's future expected later today."This is incredibly difficult news for Bonza employees who have received no pay for more than two months after the airline's sudden collapse," TWU National Secretary Michael Kaine said.

"It's a dark day for regional communities across Australia which remain isolated through unaffordable or unavailable air travel to remain connected with the nation." The administrators had been looking to sell the airline and had set a deadline of last Friday for interested potential buyers to submit an offer.The airline had only begun operating in early 2023."Workers remain in limbo, with the Fair Entitlement Guarantee scheme not yet available to claim their owed entitlements," he said."Today, they gained the freedom to pursue alternative full-time work, with Virgin Australia having previously committed to prioritising Bonza staff.
