Redjet, which operates out of Barbados, is offering flights to Guyana, Jamaica and Barbados from Trinidad.
Chairman of Redjet, Ian Burns says Redjet is what the region needs and will allow caricom residents to move around the region easily and frequently given the low airfare.
From as early 1pm on Wednesday, many travellers were able to book tickets online.
Redjet has two MD82 aircraft which were operated by American Airlines. It has already opened the gates for competition with Trinidad-based Caribbean Airlines decreasing their fares to the destinations Redjet plans to operate their service.
Another regional air operator, Liat also reduced airfares to most of its regional destinations.
