Doesn't take a genius to work out there's not much demand.
If Rex are only averaging 40 pax a week on Sydney-Orange where are the other 500-750 revenue passengers who fly out of Orange on a weekly basis flying to and who are they flying with? They can't all be on FlyCorporate's twice weeklies to Essendon and Brisbane.
The Bureau of Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development and Communications passenger activity stats showed that roughly 41,000 commercial RPT passengers flew out of Orange in 2019. The January 2020 numbers were 4,800 for the month or roughly 77 pax each day in each direction.
