It is amazing that the terms remain private. I thought that the government was the people?? So the privacy part was this from the government or the people?? How could a case between a company and the people be private from the people?? Tell me is it also private from the company?? So only the lawyers and the judge knows what the deal is??
Redjet to Fly: Redjet has open a golden door for the public of Trinidad an Tobago, the opportunity to travel throughout the Caribbean at very affordable prices. Now families can take that much needed vacation and spend some good quality time together. Mostly importantly all safty requirements are met.
Finally a government that is serious about CARICOM integration. Cheaper safe transport means more CARICOM nationals can commute between the territory. Trinidad and Tobago has the most diversified culture in the region. this is an excellent opportunity for T nT to spread it’s influence.
