History
editThe 2nd Arkhangelsk United Aviation Division of the Northern (since 1973 - Arkhangelsk) Civil Aviation Department of Aeroflot was established in 1969. It consisted of the 68th (Mi-1, Mi-4, Mi-6, Mi-8 helicopters) and 313th (An-2, Yak-12 aeroplanes) flying detachments. Initially based at the airport of Kegostrov, in 1975 it was relocated to Vaskovo. An-2 squads were also based in Onega, Kargopol, Karpogory, Leshukonsky and Mezen. In 1991, due to the disbanding of Aeroflot, it became a separate airline.
On 10 February 2019, Russian President Putin awarded three employees of the 2nd Arkhangelsk United Air Squadron with medals ‘For Rescue of the Lost’ for their courage, bravery, and determination shown while rescuing people in extreme conditions. Officially, the presidential decree does not say that those who participated in the rescue of victims after the explosion at the Nenoksa test site in August 2019 are being awarded the medals.
