Can the new Baltic airline company outrivel SAS or Norwegian?


Lithuanian Prime Minister A.Butkevicius during his stay in Estonia in 2013 january, said that it would be interesting for the all three Baltic countries to have their own airline company. "I propose the creation of aviation company to carry out a joint project and be able to financially survive, because of having the airline, which, for example, can work profitably only in Lithuania - it is hardly imaginable." Spoke A.Butkevicius.
 

Lithuania had the aviation company, not too long ago, that went bankrupt. It should be noted that both Latvia and Estonia have their own airlines. But both of them are unprofitable. Latvia is  looking currently for a strategic investor in loss-making airlines "airBaltic". With the growing losses of "Estonian Air" also started discussions in Estonia on "Estonian Air"'s future. It is not clear what  expect Butkevicius, because Latvians certainly will not  establish another company, having considerable trouble with "airBaltic", I do not know maybe this is Estonian company can be bases in the creation of a new company.

On the other hand it was  such ideas before, but no one move from the dead point, it was not even agreed where the airport will be the keyport for the new company.It should also be taken to the mind Butkevičius that it is appropriate to look at the SAS experience. The company are managed by Denmark, Sweden and Norway. And even these rich countries are generally considered to be unable to lift burdens.

   In December last year, SAS has got on the verge of bankruptcy. Adoption of the austerity program remote bankruptcy, but the problems have not been substantially resolved.Obviously if they (Baltics) could manage to move off from each country's self-interests, and follow the "Norwegian" or "Wizzair" principles of successful management, the idea can have success.But by far, the Baltic States cooperation has been not so fruitful.
 On the other hand, even the slightest effort are welcome  ...

Let me remind you that we are talking about the occupation of the Baltic republics, which was carried out almost simultaneously and using the same methodology. It is true that everyone somehow forgets the fact that Finland should have been in this company as well. According to the Molotov-Ribbentrop agreement, the line was drawn not only through the Baltic countries, Poland, Romania, but also Finland. Many thougth that non - aggresion deal beetwen the USSR and Germany was useful for the Baltics states. On September 29 , 1939 , the Soviets invited Lithuanian delegation to Moscow where they were presented with a cooperation...

@ politico.eu Next year on February 16, Lithuania will celebrate its 100th anniversary of its independence. In the sense of the state life this is not a long period of time. Between 1917 and 1918 Lithuanians, and all the Baltic nations, were very favourable. World War I was taking place, Lithuania was occupied by Germany, Latvia was divided between the two warring parties. Why was it success for Baltic ? Both warlords were tired of a long war. The pretext for completing it has already been. In Russia has taken place February Revolution. Tsar Nicholas II repudiated the throne and was established Russian republic. In November 1917 , Bolsheviks committed a military coup. When the civil war began in Russia. Lenin has announced the nations right to self-determination. Lithuania , on the background of all these parapets, declares its independence  on February 16, 1918. The independence was recognised by Germany in 1918 March 23, but with some reservations. The unconditional recogni...

Hello dear readers I was a little bit away from the web publishing. But now I will take the job. I decided to spice up the site; it will be not only published information and discussion about technology, but also the    experience of the trips. So lest start our journey. This time is Rome . Why Rome ? Let’s say it is naïve question. Rome is the eternal city; it is the city where all the roads lead. It is currently home to about 2, 7 million inhabitants. It is the capital of the Italy , the country where lives about 60, 5 million people. It is the member of G8, most developed industrial countries. If you would take a look from above, it looks like female boots, maybe so the country is famous for fashion and the shoe industry. Italy is also well kwon for their excellent and distinctive cuisine. Italians can be proud of a rich cultural legacy, perhaps because of that they are in the fifth place among the tourist traffic .Your humble servant has decided to be one of ...
