NOVOSIBIRSK, October 31 - RAPSI. A Moscow court will hear on November 14 lawsuits to recover from the Continent airline $168,650 in wage arrears owed to its employees in Siberia, RIA Novosti was told in court on Monday.

The airline was established in 2007. It conducted regular and charter flights on Tu-154 planes.
