Baltia Airlines / Kalitta Air / Willow Run Connection
BLTA started the FAA Certification with the New York Flight Standards District Office. NY F.D.S.O. was slow due to lacking personnel, time and desire to perform. So, in December 2012, probably at the advice and urging of Connie Kalitta, BLTA switched to East Michigan F.D.S.O.
Among the reasons for moving the certification to EMI FSDO were operational considerations. Baltia’s aircraft maintenance is performed at Kalitta Maintenance facility in Oscoda, Michigan, and Baltia will be training its crewmembers and dispatchers at Kalitta Air facilities at Willow Run Airport. Both of these major activities will be under the East Michigan FSDO’s oversight.
Connie Kalitta has been through and knows the FAA Cetrification Process. Conrad "Connie" Kalitta is the CEO of Kalitta Air and a retired American drag racing driver, once known as "The Bounty Hunter". Kalitta has a lifetime of experience in the airline industry that goes back to 1967 when he began transporting parts for the automotive business with a twin engine Cessna 310 that he piloted himself. Over the years, Kalitta grew from a one airplane operation into a substantial airline conglomerate. Kalitta Air began service in November 2000 with three Boeing 747 aircraft and the fleet has grown to a present total of 22 B747 freighters.
As some one here posted a couple years ago, Connie Kalitta is a mover and a shaker. Everyone at Willow Run Airport knows who Connie Kalitta is.
