Bonza launches Sunshine Coast to Rockhampton
Rocky was served on the rocks last night as a purple party, complete with obligatory purple cocktails, took flight from Sunshine Coast Airport directly to Rockhampton for the first time ever. Bonza’s latest route to launch saw excited customers fly to Australia’s beef capital which is also the gateway to Great Keppel Island, lower Great Barrier Reef and inland to Emerald.
Bonza CEO, Tim Jordan, said “Our team of legends are so excited to get this new route off the ground as it opens up a world of opportunities for holidaymakers in both regions. Rocky is relatively undiscovered when you think of all the activities on offer within a short drive from the airport and the Sunshine Coast and nearby Moreton Bay region are packed with experiences from the beach to the hinterland.”
