Description
As Bonza’s administrator looks set to finally close the curtain on the stricken airline, a new YouGov survey has revealed 50 per cent of Australians believe the government should step in and back low-cost airlines in the name of affordability and consumer choice. With more than 300 airlines reportedly having gone under in Australia over the last century, is it time for Canberra to intervene and get more tails in the skies? Adam, Jake and Ben look at the case for more government support and how it might manifest. Plus, as on-time performance and cancellations continue to improve, who came out on top in the May domestic reliability stakes?
