Slot Hoarding: What is it and could it have contributed to Rex airlines going into administration?

In April we saw Bonza airlines collapse and Rex airlines has since gone into voluntary administration, further reducing the amount of competition in the skies.

Guest: Professor Doug Drury is Head of Aviation and CQ University

Presenter: Warren Andrew
