[6] In 2010, a private sector envoy announced an intention to base a start-up airline at the Grantley Adams International Airport.

[7] The name of the parent company is AIRONE Holdings Limited (AVL),[8] and the air venture will seek to form "the Caribbean's first low-cost carrier".

[9] The envoy had initially attempted to begin operations from Jamaica[10] however, Jamaican aviation authorities reportedly rejected their application for licenses.

On April 12, 2011, the FAA announced that Barbados failed to meet regulation standards which would prevent Barbados-based airlines (including REDjet) from flying to the US.

[citation needed] On July 27, 2011, REDjet confirmed its plans to expand its operations to other Caribbean destinations in light of an announcement that the airline had gained approval to land in St Kitts (St.Christopher) and Nevis by its Prime Minister Dr. Denzil Douglas.

[citation needed] On August 5, 2011, REDjet was scheduled to begin flights into St Lucia as early as October 2011 by St. Lucian Tourism and Civil Aviation Minister Senator Allen Chastanet.
