Yeah but although that Russia St. Pete route was torridly under planned and ill conceived: Just no damn flying business there....................aa: “Are there hopes for direct flights to the US?” I BELIEVE IT WOULD HAVE WORKED... JUST NOT WITH BALTIA

EI: “Indirect traffic to the US is very high, with many connecting mostly via Moscow and Helsinki. The top unserved destination is New York, and it is on our top priority list to develop this route. We had success in discussions with a few carriers before the economic conditions changed in Russia a few years ago. We have also had discussions with several airlines regarding the possibility of fifth-freedom rights to fly via St. Petersburg onto the US, and this is a business opportunity that we are working closely on, as well as continuing talks with other carriers.”
