Re: Docket DOT-OST-2007-0007 

Application of Baltia Airlines, Inc. 

Section 41102 Certificate Authority 

Dear Ms. Lewis: 

This responds to your December 23 request for an eight-month extension of the time in which 

to fulfill the conditions in our Final Order 2009-3-7, effective March 9, 2009, that requires 

Baltia Airlines, Inc. ("Baltia") to commence scheduled passenger operations as a certificated air 

carrier within one year of that date. The effectiveness of this authority was conditioned upon 

Baltia's fulfilling a number of conditions, including providing us with a copy of its Air Carrier 

Certificate and Operations Specifications from the Federal Aviation Administration authorizing 

such operations. 

As you know, section 204.7 of our rules (14 CFR 204.7) provides, among other things, that the 

authority granted to a company shall be revoked if the company does not commence actual 

flying operations under that authority within one year of the date of the Department's 

determination of its fitness. Waivers are not granted routinely, but only where "good cause" is 

shown. In showing good cause, Baltia must provide adequate evidence demonstrating that it 

still meets the Department's fitness criteria and that it has completed nearly all of the steps to 

commence operations (e.g., has the necessary persoimel, financial resources, and aircraft, and 

that it is well advanced in its FAA certification process). 

We have completed our review of the information Baltia provided and have concluded that 

additional information is needed to determine if Baltia still meets the Department's fitness 

criteria and if good cause exist for a waiver from section 204.7. Therefore, we ask that Baltia 

respond to the attached information request within 14 days of the date of this letter. In addition, 

please remember that Baltia should promptly provide the Department with any information 

regarding changes it may undergo in areas affecting its fitness (i.e., management, operating 

plans or financial condition, compliance disposition, or ownership) while its application is 

under review by the Department. Furthermore, should Baltia seek an issuance of frequency 

allocations, it must file an application along with the appropriate filing fee (See 14 CFR 389.25) 
with Docket Operations, 1200 New Jersey Ave. S.E., West Bldg. Ground Floor, Rm. W12-140, 

Washington, D.C. 20590, or you may electronically file your docketed application at 

www.regulations.gov. 

Thank you for your cooperation in this matter. If you have any questions regarding this letter or 

the requested information, please feel free me at (202) 366-9721. 

Sincerely,

INFORMATION REQUEST 

BALTIA AIRLINES, INC. 

1. Baltia previously provided evidence of lines-of-credit from its management and 

shareholders totaling $5.1 million. However, these lines-of-credit had a stated 

expiration of one year from the date of issuance (i.e. July 17, 2009). Therefore it 

appears that Baltia no longer has access to sufficient financial resources needed to 

meet oiir fitness criteria. If Baltia has entered into new or additional lines-of-credit or 

extended the expiration of the previous offers of credit, please provide third-party 

verification describing the lines-of-credit being made available, the amount such credit 

line has been drawn down to date, any conditions that must be met before funds will 

be advanced, the terms of repayment, and the expiration date. Further, if the line-ofcredit is being supplied by an individual or organization (other than a recognized 

financial institution) current copies (within 3 months) of the personal or corporate 

financial statements of the individual or organization should also be provided. 

2. Please provide third-party verification of all cash deposits available to support Baltia's 

proposed operations. 

3. Please provide current (within 3 months) compiled balance sheets and income 

statements for Baltia Airlines. 

4. Please provide a complete resume for Vick Luis Bolanos: 

The resume should include the individual's full name, citizenship, current address, and 

telephone numbers, together with a detailed listing of all previous employment (both 

aviation and non-aviation) and education and training, including FAA certifications 

and license numbers if applicable. The employment listing should include the name of 

employer, location (city, state), type of business, position(s) held, description of 

responsibilities, and dates employed. Further, if the employer held any aviation 

authority, the type of authority held should be noted.

sections 204.3 (1), (m), (o), (p), and (q) of our rules for each. 

6. Mr. Jerry Willoughby resume shows that he is currently employed at Advanced 

Aviation Concepts and Etico Capital. Will Mr. Willoughby remain employed by 

Advanced Aviation Concepts and Etico Capital once Baltia commences revenue 

operations? If so, how will Mr. Willoughby divide his time between his duties and 

responsibilities at Baltia and those at Advanced Aviation Concepts and Etico Capital? 

7. Please accompany your response to this request with the certification required by Title
