Aside from what passengers and Cargo the airline can and cannot hold, there is a bigger event.
The next world cup is in Russia, specifically Moscow and St. Peterspurg. It doesn’t matter whether the airline industry is saturated or not, huge events like the world cup tend to bring in a lot of money for everyone. If you look at GOL, the Brazillian airline, it started out small and by the time the world cup came around it was selling at nearly $7/share. If Baltia can secure some kind of exclusivity or sponsorship, along with it being the main airline to go to St. P’s, then it could rise to $10 or $13 or more by 2018 world cup. At nearly 2 cents a share, it could be the deal of a lifetime. Heck, these huge airlines such as Delta, AAL, and others may even compete to purchase all or part pf Baltia or invest in it at least. Last year, KLM and Delta purchased part of GOL, if my memory service me correctly, to cash in on revenue leading to the world cup held in Brazil two months ago. They made good money out of that investment. So while the road to success was extremely slow for Baltia, but it is a road to success nonetheless
