REDjet may never fly again

Barbados-based grounded low-fare carrier REDjet may never fly again.

According to sources, the airline has informed the 94 staffers by letter yesterday that it could no longer employ them. An official announcement is expected shortly from the airline’s board on its future.

REDjet suddenly suspended its flights on March 16. Since then, it was in negotiation with the Barbados Government and Guyana for financial support to get back in the air.

Since suspending operations, the airline has fielded several calls from people who had booked flights across its network seeking reimbursement of their funds to no avail.
