Baltia Air Lines- The hottest United Sates startup Airline!??
What do you think of Baltia Air Lines? Their annual growth rate is amazing and price is economical too:

This makes Baltia an ultimate choice for investment to me
Baltia's objective is to provide high quality three class passenger service, and reliable and fast cargo and mail transportation. Baltia plans to start its flight operations in 2007, as the only US airline connecting directly two of the world's most prominent cities - New York and St. Petersburg.

Baltia's nonstop service from New York's JFK to St. Petersburg will be approximately 8 hours, as compared to European connecting flights by foreign airlines taking up to 12 or 18 hours. Only a US airline (as well as a reciprocal Russian airline) is entitled to fly nonstop. Third nation airlines, which are currently serving the market, can only operate connecting flights via their nati onal airports.

Hottest?
This is a report on it from 2002:
Looks more like a wet noodle to me.
This is a report on it from 2002:
The difficulty of Baltia's shares in getting airborne is mirrored by its operational history. Baltia Air Lines has never flown, although it received operating authority in 1991 to serve a number of destinations in the former Soviet Union. Failure to obtain funding prevented it from initiating service during the 1990s.
The airline currently does not have the authority to fly the New York-St. Petersburg route. In December 1999, the U.S. Department of Transportation revoked Baltia's license because of the carrier's failure to initiate service and concerns about its finances. In order to gain new authority, Baltia would have to show that the financial issues had been resolved, according to a spokesman at the Department of Transportation.
Baltia will be filing a new application this month, according to Dmitrowsky, and hopes to make its maiden voyage in June or July. It intends to lease a Boeing 747-200 aircraft from Flugleidir Hf., which also is known as Icelandair.

No Funds, No Planes: It's Baltia Air!

Igor Dmitrowsky, the founder of Baltia Air Lines, looked over his bare new office yesterday in Terminal 1 of John F. Kennedy International Airport. Soon it will have a phone and desks, so this Latvian immigrant will no longer have to run his international airline out of his apartment in Rego Park, Queens.
Baltia as yet has no planes, no flight crews and no financing.
