REDjet continues to cancel flights
Officials say services should return to normal by mid-week after several days of cancellations because of aircraft problems.
Low-cost carrier REDjet has been forced to cancel flights over the last few days because of problems with its aircraft’s hydraulics, but it says booked passengers could be back in the air soon.
All services into and out of Barbados, Guyana and Trinidad were cancelled again yesterday while flights scheduled for today have been “postponed tentatively” until tomorrow, with the intention to fly at previously scheduled times, REDjet said.
“REDjet is hopeful to resume scheduled service on Wednesday 31st August,” it said.
“REDjet is in the process of securing a charter service to minimise further disruption to passengers,” the airline added, noting that the Barbados Civil Aviation Department is working with the airline on getting that charter service.
Passengers affected by REDjet’s cancellations have been visiting the airline’s Facebook page complaining about the inconvenience and urging the Barbados-based carrier to rectify the situation quickly.
“REDjet again apologises for any inconvenience caused and assures all customers that we are exploring every available option for refunds, re-accommodation and rescheduling,” the airline said.
