Aug 18, 2014 (newstodate): The project for launch of a new US carrier, Baltia Airlines may finally be close to a thumbs-up prior to first flight.
The carrier thus expects to be granted its AOC by the end of September 2014, aiming at a first flight before the end of this year.
In the meantime, world political events have maybe not be especially favorable to the carrier that plans to set up a network of flights from the USA to Russia, with St Petersburg as its first destination with Moscow, Riga, Kiev, and Minsk to be added at a later date.
The company has been airing its intentions since 1989 and received its operational license in 1991, but the license was revoked by FAA few years later as the company did not have the financial background in order.
After wining traffic rights in 2006, Baltia Air Lines proclaimed that operations would start by the end of 2008, with flights from New York to Moscow, Kiev, Minsk, Vilnius, Riga and Tallinn to be added from 2009.
