REDjet talking to Barbados on routes

(Barbados Nation) REDjet says it’s in discussion with Government to address the delay in approval for new routes and chief executive officer Ian Burns has insisted that the company “is not moving out” of Barbados over the dispute.

Burns made that position clear as REDjet awaits permission from Government to operate the St Maarten, Antigua, St Lucia, Grenada and St Kitts routes, even though the carrier has already received licences from those governments.

Last month, REDjet called on Government to deliver promised political support for its routes.

Asked if the airline has been able to get that commitment, Burns told the WEEKEND NATION discussions were ongoing.
