Okay, this is actually amazing. The story of America's oldest startup airline keeps getting better and better. Last week I wrote about how the SEC is investigating an executive from Baltia Air Lines, which is an airline I first wrote about in 2014. They've been in "business" (which is to say they've been investing other…

uhh, and Avroliners? A four engine regional plane is possibly less logical than a 40 year old 747.
Do you have any details on their mileage program or if they'll have reverse herringbone seats in business class?
BWI-TTN is a two hour drive. Why would anyone ever take that flight. Both are cities where you need a car to get around. Wonder if this is just a scam or a front for something else.
Now I have an urge to donate all my Baltia Golden Rooster miles to Lucky so he can take his dream trip from Islip to Albany.
I love that they have a "flight status" link:
http://www.baltia.com/flights.html
But my favorite part is that the fields to enter flight info. to check status... are just part of a static image! You can't fill in the boxes!
What a joke
Sounds like they're just trying to scam Russian-speaking immigrants in the US.
this disaster of a joke would make a great ep for the CNBC show American Greed! cant wait for that ep one day.
THANKS! This is the most hilarious thing I've read during a long week filled with bad news.
How soon can you do a review of their first class service lucky.?
Which credit cards will align themselves with their ffp.?
Is it true that russian caviar will be served upon boarding in economy.?
$o many questions lucky and exciting times for bullshit airlines.
I can already get from ALB to ISP via BAL in one day, via Southwest. So they think they're going to just piggyback on the biggest airline out of ALB. My chances of enjoying Russian vodka with caviar in F are higher.
I would like to know where you get the info that Albany is a major financial capital, though. Maybe there are great companies nearby I'm missing out on a real job with...... 😉
According to the website, they even have a limo service for first and business class passengers. That's fantastic, because with the new routes, the limo can just drive you directly to your final destination. A very smart offering, as it saves passengers the need to go through airport security, check in, and all the pain of flying. Even better, it allows the airline to operate entirely without planes which makes for great cost savings that can be passed on to customers. If you want, the limo can of course stop by the advertised airport lounge, so that you can grab some of the complimentary snacks and beverages.
Wow one of the best flights I've ever taken.
The limo the lounge the personal assistant the cabin the champagne the caviar .its all to much for a thirty minute flight.
Cant wait for my long haul to sudan from baltimore direct ten times a day
Sigh. All this coverage for a fake airline, but a real fake airline like Apex Airways (offering MiddleClass, an all-middle seats configuration at a premium price) with hubs in Minot and Branson doesn't even get a mention. Look us up on Facebook, at apexairways.com, or our hilarious voicemail, 844-400-APEX.
That email excerpt almost sound like the ones we get about some lost prince with millions to transfer, eager to pay you a comission for your help.
You'll feel really stupid and you'll probably delete this post once they do fly! Hahaha now Kalitta is on the Board of directors?!?!? AND a new president/CEO?!?!? Get rekd m8!
I've just discovered this story and it has to be one of the wildest things I've ever read. Has anyone ever been to Islip? Has anyone ever heard of it? This is hysterical
