Embattled regional airline Bonza has cancelled flights across the country today, stranding potentially thousands of passengers, as it considers its future.

Early Bonza flights in and out of its base on Queensland’s Sunshine Coast, along with Melbourne legs to Rockhampton, Gladstone and Tamworth were all cancelled this morning.

Bonza CEO Tim Jordan released a statement just after 8am saying all services would be “temporarily suspended”.

He said discussions were being had about the ongoing viability of the business.

Mr Jordan apologised to customers, saying Bonza was trying to find a way to keep flying.

Bonza’s financial position has been the subject of intense speculation since its first flight early last year.

More to come.
