Baltia Airlines will be the first passenger airlin
Post# of 41413
We learned a boat load just in the mini evac and slide issues alone.
Look forward to the addition of more crews (typically 3-5 per plane) and the addition of one or two more planes all in the next 10 months IMHO.
The mini evac and the proving run are just "proving" that the crew has a firm grasp on the mastery of the plane, rules and any emergency that could arrive. These are not "tests". They have passed all of those already. They are "proving"
747s are the best planes made IMHO. It's safety record is top notch. It flies far, fast and can carry more people and cargo than any other plane.

The last airline to be certified was JetBlue 2/3/2000.
Baltia is an international carrier.
All of the above and much more make this a very special time in aviation history.
