New Caribbean carrier BlueSky delays launch
New Caribbean startup BlueSky Airlines has put back its launch after the collapse of a European carrier that had agreed to lease planes to BlueSky.
BlueSky said it now plans to start flying in the second half of this year.
Polish regional airline EuroLOT had agreed to supply two planes to BlueSky, but has now been closed down by the Polish government.
"BlueSky’s focus is now on intensifying its search for alternative aircraft. Last week the carrier accelerated negotiations with potential lessors for new Bombardier Q400s becoming available over the next few months," Grand Cayman-based BlueSky said in a statement.
"We will announce our planned launch date as well as our intended date to commence reservations and ticket sales, all subject to government approvals," BlueSky chairman Kenny Rankin said.
BlueSky plans to serve routes within the Caribbean and to Central America.
