Mr. Russell Thal, President of Baltia Air Lines, stated, "We will request a formal hearing with the FAA in the allotted time frame. It is our position that we have sufficient proof that we should have passed the mini evacuation phase and moved on to obtain our certification as a 121 carrier. The notice we received moves the process along. Waiting for months for a response from the FAA has been a stressful experience. We are eager to move the project forward and being able to present Baltia's position at the hearing will expedite Baltia's Air Carrier Certification." Mr. Thal further stated, "Baltia's staff and FAA counsel remain positive about obtaining a favorable outcome in regards to the Air Carrier Certification."
