REDjet: Guyana will not revoke grounded airlines’ license
Barbados’ Director of Civil Aviation, Mitchinson Beckles later explained that the decision to suspend REDjet’s AOC was in keeping with local air transport rules.
“The regulations state that if you are not meeting operating conditions, your certificate will have to be suspended or revoked,” he said.
Dr. Luncheon confirmed that REDjet has been holding talks with Guyana and other regional governments in a bid to resume services.
“…..what we have experienced in our discourses with REDjet is some proposals dealing with improving the financing of the enterprise. I’m suspecting and reasonably so that that has also been taken to other governments in the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) for refinancing or support for refinancing and putting REDjet on a more sustainable financial and economic platform,” he said.
Barbados’ International Transport George Hutson revealed last week that the Freundel Stuart administration is examining new strategies to get the airline back into the air.
He said the government is contemplating granting REDjet a provisional licence which could be valid for at least year. – (CMC)
