REDjet may fly to Jamaica from October

(Barbados Nation) REDjet has been given clearance to spread its wings to Jamaica and that first flight could be in October.

And according to Ian Burns, chief executive officer of the low-cost carrier, South American giant Brazil, one of the fastest growing economic powers, could be a long-term project.

Yesterday, REDjet received official confirmation from the Jamaica Civil Aviation Authority that it had been cleared to begin operating into and out of the island.

“Coming on the heels of permission to fly to Trinidad, we at REDjet are thrilled, not only because we are making significant strides as an airline but, more so, we are thrilled that over the coming weeks, we will be able to offer our services to Jamaicans,” Burns said.
