REDjet given the GO-AHEAD

REDjet the Caribbean's low fare airlines have been given the go-ahead by the Barbados Civil Aviation Department, and the Air Transport Licensing Authority as it had awaited licensing approval before it could take to the skies of the Caribbean.

On December 10, the airline's first (of two) introductory McDonnell Douglas MD-82 aircraft named 'Jacqualicious' after an employee, was delivered to REDjet at the Grantley Adams International Airport. On February 01 2011, REDjet's second aircraft 'Hey Jude' was delivered to REDjet at the Grantley Adams International Airport.

The delay in taking to the skies was due the protocols for licensing being meticulously followed as Barbados where the aircraft will be seeking its license will be seeking a CAT #1 rating, according to International Transport Minister, George Hutson.

The minister had also added that, "How we go through the regulatory process towards the Air Operator Certification of REDjet will itself influence the results of this audit."

These sentiments from the minister came from pressure from certain segments of society who questioned the length of time the procedure took in stating, "There are certain segments of the society, many of whom should know better, who seem to be of the view that regulating and licensing an aircraft is as simple as regulating motor vehicle traffic."

REDjet will receive its Air Operator's Certificate (AOC) by the end of April. The AOC requires the operator to have personnel, assets and systems in place to ensure the safety of its employees and the general public.
