It’s been two years since the collapse of Bonza and Rex – and while Koala Airlines is yet to launch, another aviation contender could be entering the market before long.
Dubbed Zinc Airlines, the ultra-low-cost-carrier would pursue a business model similar to European airlines Wizz Air and Ryanair, with its founder saying Western Sydney Airport would offer a unique opportunity for new contenders – but is he right?
On this week’s Australian Aviation Podcast, Jake and David look at Zinc’s plan to shake up the domestic aviation market, whether it can avoid the fate of failed carriers before it, and how it might take the fight to the big boys.
Plus, the 2026 budget is out – what’s in the government’s $731.1 million aviation package, and what’s got the GA and tourism sectors all riled up?
