Baltia Air Lines, Inc. (OTCMKTS:BLTA) is a U.S.-based, scheduled air carrier in development, originally incorporated in 1989 with the goal of establishing direct transatlantic service. Headquartered in Farmingdale, New York, the company has focused its efforts on creating affordable passenger and charter connections between the United States and select European destinations. Through a series of regulatory applications and strategic planning initiatives, Baltia aims to fill a niche for non-stop flights linking the New York metropolitan area with cities in Eastern Europe.
The company’s core business activities center on the provision of scheduled passenger service and on-demand charter and cargo operations. Baltia has designed its network to serve markets such as St. Petersburg and Riga, targeting leisure travelers, business travelers, and air freight customers seeking an alternative to traditional hub-and-spoke routing. To support these services, the company has pursued the acquisition and leasing of suitable airframes, including wide-body jets capable of transatlantic range and smaller freighter models for cargo charters.
Over its multi-decade history, Baltia Air Lines has navigated a complex regulatory landscape, securing Federal Aviation Administration approvals for Part 121 domestic and flag operations and working with the U.S. Department of Transportation to obtain route authorizations. The company’s protracted certification process reflects its emphasis on safety, compliance and operational readiness. Alongside regulatory milestones, Baltia has entered into preliminary agreements with maintenance and ground‐handling partners to establish logistical support at both U.S. and European airports.
Under the leadership of President and CEO Boris Biletnikoff and a board of aviation industry advisors, Baltia Air Lines continues to refine its business plan, expand its fleet strategy and negotiate commercial partnerships. As it advances toward inaugural flights, the company remains focused on delivering a reliable, cost-effective alternative for transatlantic travel, with the long-term goal of enhancing connectivity between North America and key markets in Eastern Europe.
