Yesterday they were sending out Tweets claiming that they would be inaugurating services from New York to St. Petersburg, Kiev and several other places during 2011. They have 30 days remaining to accomplish that.

Also claiming that they will be the only airline serving the New York/Moscow/St. Petersburg triangle. Hellooo - have you ever heard of Aeroflot?

Their other B747 is in a million pieces in Kuala Lumpur. Don't understand why they purchased and invested heavily in two really old B747-200s - far too much airplane for the intended routes, too.

Gotta give the founder, Igor Dmitrowsky, a yogurt maker from Queens, New York, credit: he's been trying to launch this airline since 1989.
