Baltia Airlines plans to fly between NY and St. Petersburg
NEW
YORK, May 10 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Baltia Air Lines is
predicting 25% of revenues will be derived from unique, personal
care courier services between New York City and St. Petersburg,
Russia. Igor Dmitrowsky, President of startup Baltia Air Lines,
scheduled for nonstop passenger service between New York City
and St. Petersburg Russia later this year, said they will be the
only company offering guaranteed, same day package delivery
between these two major cities. He said this special service
will play a very significant role in the company's bottom line
profits. "We will have our own Baltia Express Vans in both
cities ready to hand deliver packages within hours of
arrival," Mr. Dmitrowsky stated. "This will facilitate
businesses, banks, hospitals, private parties and any
organizations that require immediate service and personal care
handling of their packages and documents." Mr. Dmitrowsky
went on to say that he anticipates these special Baltia Courier
programs will also be utilized by the United States and Russian
postal services as well as established package delivery
companies. "We will be flying B747's which have a
tremendous cargo capacity as well as passenger space," he
said. "In addition we will be expanding passenger comfort
by reducing the number of passenger seats."
