Over 75 up-and-comers of the defence and national security workforce have made history by qualifying as the first group of finalists at the awards.

It comes after Australian Aviation reported in November that the Tasmanian service would be temporarily cancelled due to changes in the maintenance plan for Pratt & Whitney geared turbofan (GTF) engines used on its A320neo and A321neos.

It comes as incumbent Richard Goyder faces pressure at energy giant Woodside, where he is also chairman, and as the Flying Kangaroo faces a series of major challenges posed by conflict in the Middle East.

Bonza CEO Tim Jordan has said the carrier currently has no relationship whatsoever with financial advisory firm KordaMentha following a report in The Australian Financial Review.

Adelaide’s return to pre-COVID figures follows Hobart Airport’s announcement this month that it has also exceeded Q3 FY19 passenger figures in the March quarter of this year. In a statement, the airport said strong travel demand in the quarter was helped by boosts in both domestic and international capacity.

In its preliminary report into the incident, Chile’s aviation authority noted an “involuntary movement forward” in the captain’s seat on CC-BGG (similar aircraft pictured) mid-flight as it was operating flight 800 from Sydney to Santiago via Auckland on 11 March, though the cause of the drop itself has yet to be determined.
