A New U.S. Airline to Fly from New York to Russia

May 22, 2006

    NEW YORK, May 22 /Xinhua-PRNewswire/ -- Baltia Air
Lines, a new U.S. airline, based at the JFK Airport in New
York at Terminal 4, is getting ready to start nonstop
service to St. Petersburg, Russia with a Boeing 747.
Currently, the only other US airline operating to Russia is
Delta Air Lines which flies nonstop to Moscow.  

    Baltia Air Lines is a publicly traded company listed on
the Nasdaq Bulletin Board under the symbol BLTA. In
addition, Baltia is listed on Xetra and Frankfurt exchanges
under the symbol B3A. Baltia will provide First, Business
and Coach passenger services. It will also provide express
cargo services under Baltia name, as well as carry
containers for major overnight shippers. 

    After starting the JFK -- St. Petersburg service,
Baltia Air Lines plans to develop its initial route
network, flying nonstop from JFK to Riga, Kiev and Minsk.
Baltia Air Lines' goal is to become the leading airline to
provide full-service passenger, cargo and mail
transportation between the major US cities and the capital
cities of Eastern Europe.

    Baltia Air Lines wants to go well above and beyond the
so called "normal service" manifested by recent
service cutbacks on large airlines. Baltia's goal is to
become the leading airline in the world for offering
services that no other airline is presenting, including
delicious meals prepared by top chefs from leading and soon
to be discovered outstanding restaurants in both New York
and St. Petersburg. This unique service will make traveling
with Baltia a very pleasurable and comfortable experience.

    Current traffic between JFK and St. Petersburg is
carried by European airlines with one or two connecting
flights, because only US and Russian airlines can operate
nonstop between the two nations. Analysts expect that new
US airlines like Baltia, Jet Blue, South West and others
will do well and lead the American airline industry in the
years to come.
