REDjet refutes route cancellation reports
Low-cost Caribbean airline REDjet denied recent reports that it planned to cut flights.
An internal memo quoted by one regional paper claimed REDjet was experiencing financial difficulties and that 56 flights would be taken out of operation to reduce costs.
However, Ian Burns, the chairman and CEO of REDjet, said no routes were being cut, although some are being altered to increase efficiency and “make space to create more routes”.
“As part of the airline’s continuing development and investment in its services, REDjet has made the commercial decision to make schedule changes over the coming weeks to some flights,” the carrier said.
“Passengers can expect to benefit from new and more convenient flight times and from the launch of three new routes to two new destinations in time for Easter 2012.”
