Australian carrier Bonza has suspended all flights while it attempts to determine the “ongoing viability of the business.” The airline has a fleet of 6 737-8 MAX, one of which is currently leased to Flair Airlines in Canada.

@DavidRDHeath That's good to hear, but I've not heard much about the supposed Coast Guard plane that may have also been involved :(

The first of 29 Airbus A220-300 for QantasLink completed its delivery flight to Sydney this morning, landing in terrible wet and windy conditions. The artwork is by Maringka Baker, and has over 20,000 dots. Hopefully on her next visit I can catch her in some sunshine - VH-X4A

Introducing our first ever QantasLink @Airbus A220, fresh out of the paint shop 🎨

The aircraft is set to arrive in Australia before the end of the year and is the first of 29 A220s coming to the Qantas Group as part of its domestic fleet renewal program. The next-generation A220s have double the range of the Boeing 717s they’re gradually replacing, use less fuel, and are capable of flying direct between any two cities or towns in Australia.

The first A220 features a striking livery design and is the sixth aircraft to join Qantas’ Flying Art Series, which has showcased Aboriginal art since 1994’s Wunala Dreaming in partnership with @balarinjidesign.

Around 100 painters worked on the livery for two weeks, which features 20,000 dots and is based on artwork by senior Pitjantjatjara artist Maringka Baker. Telling the Dreaming story of two sisters who travel across remote Australia together, covering vast distances to find their way home, the aircraft is named after the artwork “Minyma Kutjara Tjukurpa - The Two Sisters Creation Story".

Ten years ago today I spotted my first Antonov - an An-124 making a late night departure out of Sydney. While there were no such rarities at the airport today, it was nice to be able to go spotting again anyway!
