<caption>Link Airways... hailed a success.</caption>
<p><span class="kicker-line">By aviation writer <strong>Scott Mayman</strong></span></p>
<p><strong>With Bonza Airlines gone and Rex Airlines in administration, one small, Canberra-based airline is being hailed a success.Â </strong></p>
<p>University business analyst Dr Paresh Pant, of Griffith University's Business School is singing the praises for the business model for Link Airways.</p>
<p>He says Link's arrangement with Virgin Airways to deliver flight services between Canberra and Sydney adds to the local airline's already busy schedule involving other regional locations.</p>
<p>His comment comes after the ACCC has warned we're back to the bad old days of little, if any, effective competition in the aviation market.</p>
<p>The loss of Bonza and the latest issues involving Rex has led to the consumer watchdog predicting higher airfares and poorer service for consumers.</p>
