REDjet staff off duty

EIGHT REDjet employees are out of work today as the airline awaits final approval to fly to Jamaica and Trinidad.
In April, REDjet had announced US$9.99 fares between Barbados and Guyana, Trinidad and Jamaica which created euphoria among Caribbean citizens.
Flights were initially scheduled to commence on May 8 from Barbados to Trinidad, on May 10 to Guyana and on May 11 to Jamaica. Only the Barbados-Guyana flight got off the ground.
