Nordavia has shelved plans to reposition itself as a budget carrier informed sources have told Russia's Aviation Explorer magazine.

The move coincides with the departure of airline General Director and transition mastermind, Vladimir Gorbunov, just four months after Nordavia was acquired by Sky Invest JSC from Norilsk Nickel.

According to the report, two of Sky Invest's three investors failed to agree on the way forward for Nordavia. As a result, the carrier will remain focused on the Northwest Russian market while still complementing sister carrier Red Wings (Russia) (WZ, Moscow Vnukovo) and its operations.

  Light combat Yak-130M
  The presentation of the Ya-130M aircraft took place at the international military-technical forum "Army-2024", which was held from August 12 to 14, 2024 at the Patriot Convention and Exhibition Center. It should be noted right away that this is not just the modernization of the Yak-130 aircraft, but the transformation of a combat training aircraft into a full-fledged light combat aircraft. In the information field, this event was marked by a number of brief reports from federal news agencies. But the project, like the Yak-130 aircraft with its unique flight characteristics, deserves a more detailed review, which we decided to do.
