Flight International would like to make clear that the "Baikal" aviation company listed as going bankrupt in a recent Russian aviation feature did not refer to Baikal Airlines. The reference (Flight International, 15-21 February) was to Baikal Avia in Irkutsk, which was one of several small Russian aviation companies which went into voluntary bankruptcy in 1994. Baikal Airlines, which operates over 100 aircraft, including the first US-registered Boeing 757 to fly in Russia, remains profitable.
