The launch of the Caribbean’s newest airline Redjet has been met with a deluge of early bookings and CEO Ian Burns today declared “the war on high air fares (in the Caribbean) has truly begun.”
REDjet opened bookings on its website and through a call centre on Wednesday, after finally securing approval from the Barbadian regulatory authorities for its operation.
The airline will be flying to three islands initially. It starts on May 8 to Port of Spain, Trinidad and flights to Guyana will commence on May 10, while the Kingston, Jamaica flights will begin on May 11.
REDjet will operate two 149-seater aircraft acquired from American Airlines – “workhorses of the skies” by Burns’ account.
