BLTA Only Needs One Plane Right Now




Baltia only needs one aircraft right now, so no sense incurring the expenses of more. Realize there is expense to storing and maintaining aircrafts. When BLTA needs another plane, they will have it.

Baltia has stated they will Launch this Airline slowly at first. BLTA will work out all the existing kinks before they expand. Much cheaper, easier and faster to correct any problems when you have only one plane with a limited route.

Here is a sample route expansion plan:

NY - St. Petersburg 1 Route per week

NY - St. Petersburg 3 Routes per week

NY - St. Petersburg 5 Routes per week

After 3 or 4 months when all the kinks are fixed, BLTA will purchase another plane, expand to another city (BLTA planned on 2nd city being Moscow).

When I visited BLTA in Willow Run last summer, Anthony Koulouris Vice President Marketing of Baltia Air Lines Inc told me they were already looking into and making plans to purchase more aircraft (as needed).

Go to Baltia Airlines Facebook Page to see tons of pictures of their current aircraft N-706BL.
