It comes after the ACCC on Monday argued larger airlines “can exploit” the rules to stifle competition from smaller carriers, while Sydney Airport itself agreed the system doesn’t work.
In a scathing assessment of the domestic industry, the competition watchdog said in general the current duopoly of Virgin and Qantas has resulted in higher airfares and poorer service.
Bonza currently flies four times per week between Newcastle and its main base on the Sunshine Coast, as well as twice per week between Newcastle and the Whitsundays. The airline, which specialises in “point-to-point” travel between regional destinations, first flew to Newcastle in March.
Waters, who does not have an aviation background, will be tasked with taming a dispute with Qantas over moving terminals as well as overseeing a new runway.
Sunshine Coast Airport CEO Andrew Brodie has announced his resignation weeks after Bonza wrapped up launching flights from the area.
Only two flights scheduled to depart Canberra before 9am are believed to have taken off on time – Qantas flight 1513 to Melbourne and FlyPelican flight 312 to Newcastle – with others either cancelled or delayed by up to several hours, according to FlightRadar24 data.
