Some Good, Some Bad, but the FAA is Here to Stay

The Regional Airline Association commented on the recent bipartisan reauthorization of the FAA, thanking everyone involved in keeping the industry going a few years more. RAA president and CEO Faye Malarkey Black highlighted a few of the most standout aspects of the upcoming legislation, commenting on some of the most interesting aspects of what's to come. With the RAA's pet themes seeing mprovements on one hand, and hamperings on another, this year's reauthorization seems to be a little bit of a mixed bag.

Affordable, Irreverent Aussie Airline On the Rocks

Bonza, a Low-Cost Carrier in Australia, recently announced the suspension of all flight services citing increasingly negative impressions of future viability. The carrier technically entered voluntary administration, though it's hard to say it was a graceful occurrence when it left passengers all over Australia stranded where they stood. Bonza CEO Tim Jordan said that the firm was having "discussions" regarding the carrier's "ongoing viability", making sure to tack on an apology for everyone affected.
