As the media release suggests, Airlink will be wound up completely as an RPT operator, it will continue in a charter capacity. All routes except for Bathurst and Dubbo will cease RPT operations, with the former being transfered to REX operations.
This does not seem to be motivated by the lack of pilots, more so a uncertainty on the federal governments subsidy on the thinner routes that Airlink operated to, so they have been dropped rather than run them at a loss.
