REDjet airline forced to cancel more flights.

BRIDGETOWN, Barbados--The problems of low-budget airline REDjet are continuing.  But officials say regular services should resume by Wednesday.  Sunday, for the third time in five days, REDjet was forced to cancel flights because of problems with the aircraft. Passengers turned up at the Grantley Adams International Airport again to learn that the flight to Guyana had been cancelled.

Communication executive Nyssa Pierre told the Daily Nation Sunday that the company was working closely with the Barbados Civil Aviation Department to bring on a charter flight, which would cover the Guyana, Trinidad and Barbados routes until REDjet's aircraft, which has been down with hydraulic problems, was back in operation.  Meanwhile, according to the Trinidad Express, REDjet said it has issued affected passengers refunds on their tickets, while some passengers preferred to remain on standby with the airline until the resumption of its service.  The Express said the airline also confirmed that the airline's call centres were contacting passengers booked on the affected flights.
