RedJet cancels flights indefinitely - edit flights resumed

[shake d livin wake d dead]

details sketchy but red jet has just announced that they cancelled all services to T&T Guyana and other places until further notice........ they said something about their hydraulic system not functioning properly on the aircraft........ interesting eh......

REDjet, the recently launched low-cost airline, on Friday cancelled services on its three routes -Guyana, Trinidad and Barbados- because the plane developed a mechanical problem.
At least 620 passengers were affected on all three routes. This is believed to be the first major problem to have faced the carrier.
“In the interest of passenger and crew safety we have decided to cancel our service for now but are optimistic that our engineers, who have been working around the clock, we will ensure that we are up and running as soon as possible,” RedJet’s Chief Operations Officer, Kevin Dudley was quoted by the airline as saying.
No date was set for the resumption of flights with the airline only saying “until further notice.”
Dudley says approximately 132 passengers were impacted as a result of the cancellations on Wednesday and 488 on Friday.
REDjet said it issued affected passengers refunds on their tickets booked, while some passengers preferred to remain on standby with the airline until the resumption of the airline’s service.
Mr Dudley confirmed the airline’s call centres were contacting all passengers booked on the affected flights.
REDjet apologised for the inconvenienced that was caused to passengers as a result of the delays and cancellations. For further information passengers are asked to call the following contact numbers:- Barbados - 246 827-2727 ; Trinidad - 868 299-0888 and Guyana – 592-662-3000

According to their profile they have two McDonnell Douglas MD-80's, both are ex-American Airlines aircraft. Gotta remember this is the airline business, not some maxi taxi operation. To keep the fares low, you have to keep costs low. New aircraft cost big money, which CAL can afford with their gov't subsidy (which Redjet doesn't get). Come to think of it, I don't think CAL actually outright owns any of their planes, they're all on long term wet leases if I remember correctly.
