Debt Kills Another Airline: Transaero Bankruptcy Possible/Likely
"Shutdown now possible for Transaero, Russia's No. 2 airline"
http://www.usatoday.com/story/todayinthesky/2.../73225790/
"Transaero has been struggling with debt"
"Transaero had net debt of US $1.63 billion at the end of 2014."
"Transaero is in such financial trouble that it can’t refuel its planes, which is now done by Aeroflot."

In contrast, nearing FAA Certification and imminent Operations Launch, Baltia Air Lines has only $1.2M Long Term Debt.
Several possible implications for BLTA
* BLTA almost non-existent ultra low debt defies the airline industry wide heavy debt, allowing BLTA to grow and thrive.
* The elimination of a Russian Air Line decreases competition and opens up BLTA's niche of NY to Trans-Atlantic capitals of Eastern Europe.
