Sneak peek: unveiling the terminal expansion for staff

Before the inaugural wave of domestic passengers surged through the landmark extension at Gold Coast Airport, BonBon treated staff to an exclusive sneak peek of the brand-new terminal, complete with fanfare, before its official opening.  

 BonBon proudly coordinated the milestone premiere of a project in the pipeline for six years. Set against the backdrop of unrivalled hinterland views, staff revelled in a bespoke lunch with entertainment and sweet treats. 

Global gateway grand unveiling

The Gold Coast welcomed its first international travellers through the $260 million terminal expansion in late 2022. BonBon was up before dawn to help welcome 320 passengers arriving on an early morning flight from Singapore at the revamped multi-level terminal.  

To celebrate six new gates and 19 new aircraft on the tarmac, BonBon provided styling, refreshments, cookies for kids and branded space for a national and regional media call. We also hosted Sunrise with our friends at Aruga. 

Brunching brilliance

BonBon facilitated brunch with first-class views to celebrate the opening of the Gold Coast Airport International Terminal expansion. Assembling a star-studded lineup of VIP content creators, BonBon orchestrated an exclusive preview of the International Terminal, highlighting the breathtaking views of the sweeping Gold Coast Hinterland.  

Guests enjoyed curated gift boxes and a lavish brunch experience with BonBon's meticulous attention to detail and personalised touches. Engaging activities, including fashion sketches and custom GCA luggage tags, enhanced the event, fostered interaction and left a lasting impression.  

AirAsia soars

AirAsia enlisted BonBon's guidance to highlight its role as a key international travel partner of Gold Coast Airport as it announced a route between the Gold Coast and Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. BonBon crafted an in-terminal activation welcome event infused with the Gold Coast's quintessential flair for guests arriving on AirAsia's inaugural flight from Kuala Lumpur.  

With many VIP clients in attendance, including AirAsia's Global CEO, BonBon hosted a second activation to showcase Kuala Lumpur to guests at Pacific Fair on the Gold Coast. Traditional games, merchandise giveaways, branding and a bespoke Indonesian chef allowed guests to sample local treats. 

Unveiling visions and values with flair

In honour of Queensland Airports Limited's 20th Anniversary, the organisation unveiled its revamped Vision and Values. BonBon was entrusted to create a resonant staff celebration while fostering a deeper connection to the brand's new direction. 

Employing a blend of creativity and ingenuity, BonBon curated a memorable staff celebration complete with a custom-designed cake, themed furniture, engaging lawn games, lively music and a local food truck.
