QantasLink Axing Narrabri?

Not exactly from the Horse's mouth (as in an official media release), interesting nevertheless:

ABC News

The Narrabri Shire Council will meet QantasLink and the New South Wales Government today to discuss the future of air services between Sydney and Narrabri.

QantasLink says it will not continue its service after March because of commercial reasons.

But Narrabri Mayor Robyn Faber has questioned the explanation, because there has been a steady increase in the number of passengers using the route.

She says other carriers, such as Aeropelican, have indicated that they are interested in taking over the service.

Anyone confirm that this is indeed true?
