Who said that's a false rumor? Who the heck even said it's a rumor?? Did you attend the shareholders meeting? Did you hear Igor say to us investors that the DOT has historically granted ticket sales 30-45 days prior to certification for new airlines? Did you see multiple people who are experts in aviation agree with him (people who don't work for Baltia, too)?
It's NOT a rumor. This is verifiable information, if you do a little DD.
