Rex Airlines accuses Qantas and Virgin Australia of slot hoarding at Sydney Airport.

Rex Airlines accuses Qantas and Virgin Australia of "slot hoarding" at Sydney Airport, preventing access to premium travel times.

ACCC chairman Rod Sims calls for slot reform, believing market competition can improve with better slot management policies.
