Qantas CEO Vanessa Hudson has expressed her sadness at the collapse of Bonza but she said it showed Australia cannot support more domestic airlines, with Hudson speaking on Monday in Perth at the launch of Qantas’s new Perth-Paris route. With the federal government soon to release its white paper on aviation, Hudson says that government regulation of the sector should focus on ensuring it remains sustainable. She said the Australian economy relies on domestic aviation, and that a weak domestic aviation market is not in anyone’s interest.

Melbourne Airport CEO Lyell Strambi says he is very excited about the reopening of the New South Wales border to Victoria, with flights between Melbourne and Sydney increasing from just four a day to 42. Strambi says Melbourne Airport will reach around 33 per cent of its normal activity level in December, having been down to less than one per cent at one point. Qantas Group CEO Alan Joyce says the reopening of the NSW-Victoria border is a "big milestone in Australia opening back up", while Virgin Australia pilot Robert Ricketts undertook his first flight since May on 22 November.
