CARICOM chairman statement on REDJET

Georgetown :The Chairman of the Caribbean Community welcomes the resolution of the issues surrounding the provision of air services by the carrier RedJet.

The willingness of the Member States involved to bring about a positive outcome speaks to their commitment to the regional integration enterprise.

Transportation is a key sector in the development of our Community given its role in ensuring the co-mingling of our peoples and enhancing trade among our Member States. Safe and affordable transportation is therefore of vital importance to creating the viable and prosperous Community that we all seek.

 
It s to be hoped that the competition which this new airline brings to the air services sector will redound to the benefit of our citizens both private and corporate with respect to more competitive airfares in particular.
