The O'Farrell Government has come under fire for failing to seek an urgent temporary transfer from the receivers of the collapsed Brindabella Airlines, which runs out of Newcastle Airport.
Labor has recommended the Government intervene, by negotiating one-on-one with Brindabella's receivers and adopting a 'use it or lose it' clause, to allow alternate airlines to provide services in the interim.
It comes as a new owner is sought for the regional flight airline, with the Government removing all exclusive licensing rights.
But Labor claims it is not enough, with air services to regional centres yet to get back up and running.
Brindabella is a key player in regional aviation, and the all-flight cancellation is believed to be affecting a range of services from medical and law enforcement, to the economy.
