Baltia Air Lines: You're Drunk, Give Up Already

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…

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

@Johny. Your 'post' certainly has aged well just over 8 years later.

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.

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.

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.
