Jordan also shared Bonza’s decision to go paperless with the launch of its own app, saying its commitment to technology is part of a broader focus on customer experience and sustainability. “We encourage everyone to download the new app to be the first in the know for flights going on sale, fare sales, destination news and travel tips. “We’re also offering, via the app, the chance to win flights.” Australians can download the app ‘Fly Bonza’ on the Apple App Store or Google Play now. Flights are due to go on sale within the next eight weeks, pending regulatory approval.
