Baltia Air Lines Inc. (fka BLTA)

[phl08]

Call them all the names you want, but the FAA is not the reason BLTA failed their certification. Dozens of airlines have been certified and started (and many failed) since Baltia was founded nearly 30 years ago. But for some reason this little outfit with 2 rickety old 747's was targeted to never get off the ground? And yet still nobody flies direct to LED.

I can think of only 2 that would even consider JFK-LED - Aeroflot and Delta. There's nobody else that would have the feed on either end to make regularly fill the flight with strong yields.

Some functions of the FAA are privatized already. Privatizing the FAA as a whole is a terrible idea, for reasons that are out of scope to this message board.

The FAA never really had anything to do with Baltia in the final analysis. Influence peddling made sure Baltia Russia direct hop would never happen. Hopefully Trump will can Huerta. Perhaps those calling for privatization of the FAA are right. Could not get any more corrupt than it is already.
