PLEASE TELL THE TRUTH ABOUT THE LAUNCH ROUTE. There are NO NON-STOP Flights at this time between New York and St. Petersburg, Russia, and that is the cornerstone, launch market that Baltia built its plan upon, and it remains a void that Baltia's service will fill - and even the DOT believes the economic projections are reasonable.
The process is moving forward. The second aircraft acquired would seem to be the most likely to be first in service, because it was flying only a year ago last month in the NWA / Delta system, and is in very good condition according to a contact I have at Evergreen, where the aircraft and an identical ship were temporarily stored last year.
The process is moving forward, and all the speculation by outsiders who have only part of the facts is usually negative - after all, where a person lacks facts, they tend to fill it with a pessimistic plug that only harms.
The DOT and FAA are still supportive of this start-up. And so are many of us who invested or are simply industry observers.
By the way - there are many ways to differentiate a company's products or service other than pricing - I fly the Atlantic several times a year, and the cattle-car approach to packing people in has a lot of people fed up. A little more comfort and service would be worth more to me, particularly if it provided non-stop service, requiring less time, no plane change with the chance of lost luggage, and less risk of delays due to having to land in western Europe -
