With ticket sales starting on Wednesday 14th March via the company’s website (www.flyREDjet.com), retail agents and call Centres, REDjet will feature introductory fares of US$16.99 before taxes and charges, the statement added.

REDjet will also offer passengers the option to travel with unlimited baggage, a first for any regional carrier.

REDjet’s CEO Ian Burns said in the statement, “We first began service to Antigua in November 2011 from Guyana and since then we’ve brought hundreds of families and friends together as it has proven to be one of our strongest routes.  We have bridged the gap between Guyana and Antigua and come June 6th, look forward to doing the same with Barbados and Antigua.  Our unbeatable low fares and customer service are here to stay and we look forward to announcing and launching new routes in the very near future”.
