The Times reports that the Miami-based venture capital firm injected £16 million into the football club on Tuesday, UK time, while Bonza’s four 737 MAX 8 aircraft were repossessed at around 3am AEST on Tuesday, leaving passengers stranded. The airline was later placed into voluntary administration.
In a statement issued on Tuesday afternoon, Jetstar said it had set up a “dedicated page” on its website for Bonza staff affected by the news.
Speaking to radio station 3AW, the Transport Minister also said she believed the airline itself was unaware of the truth of reports that a financial consultancy was quietly appointed to look over the airline’s accounts.
The dramatic development comes hours after the airline suspended all of its flights and weeks after a rash of speculation about the future of the airline.
The rival airline on Tuesday also reiterated its pledge to help stranded passengers get home and offered to assist Bonza staff members affected by news of its voluntary administration.
Speaking to media, the minister advised stranded Bonza customers to contact her office on 1800 069 244, with the hotline expected to be operational until 10pm on Tuesday night. Qantas, Virgin and Rex have all offered assistance to affected passengers.
