Bonza has entered voluntary administration. What's happening with the flight cancellations across Australia?

ABC  

Many Australians have been left stranded at airports across the country after budget airline Bonza "temporarily" suspended all flights on Tuesday. The airline is yet to provide any update, but administrators Hall Chadwick released a statement late on Tuesday afternoon saying that it is: "currently considering the continued trading of the company's operations during the course of the administration period including the continuation of employment of all employees of the company". "I think that the problem of Bonza is overseas, with leasing companies, and not the local management, not the business model," Mr Thomas said. The Transport Department's hotline is focusing on helping stranded Bonza customers book Qantas, Virgin, or Jetstar flights.
