Air Vanuatu in liquidation but plans to resume services

In a statement released on Wednesday afternoon, administrator Hall Chadwick said Bonza’s four 737 MAX 8s, which were seized early Tuesday morning in a move that reportedly blindsided the airline, will remain on the tarmac until next week at the earlies…

Starting 28 October, the airline will increase Perth–Hong Kong services from six to 11 per week and Brisbane–Hong Kong services from six to 10 per week, with Sydney and Melbourne to retain their current four and three flights per day respectively.

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.
