NordStar Airlines has graduated the first cohort of students from its in-house aviation training center in the Initial Flight Attendant Training program. The training program was developed by NordStar specialists, taking into account current civil aviation regulations and operational specifics.

Today, the first graduating class of flight attendants received their final documents and certificates. In just 288 hours (64 calendar days), the students completed an intensive training program covering the required 18 disciplines, as well as additional skills, such as self-defense fundamentals and an in-flight birth course. The course included both theoretical and practical components, covering key aspects of safety, passenger service, procedures for dealing with disruptive passengers, and emergency response, including the use of VR technology in modules covering land and water rescue training, firefighting, depressurization, equipment checklists, and first aid. The training was conducted by certified instructors and current NordStar flight attendant instructors.

As part of the program, students also completed practical training in the cabin of a NordStar airline aircraft using real operating equipment.

Upon completion of the program, all graduates are invited to join NordStar Airlines' cabin crew team. Immediately after completing their training, the new flight attendants are hired by the airline and have the opportunity to immediately begin their professional careers, applying and honing their acquired knowledge and skills in flight operations. After completing five flights under the supervision of the airline's instructors, they will begin solo flights.

The NordStar Aviation Training Center operates under a license from the Ministry of Education and holds an Aviation Training Center Certificate issued by an authorized body and complies with established professional standards. Its launch is part of the airline's long-term strategy to build a sustainable aviation personnel training system and reduce dependence on external educational providers. In the rapidly changing aviation industry, having an in-house educational facility is not only a strategically sound decision but also an important resource for quickly responding to personnel challenges, developing internal competencies, and adapting training programs to meet modern market demands. The development of its own training center allows NordStar Airlines not only to meet internal personnel needs but also to develop a new business line focused on the external market. Plans include expanding the range of programs, introducing new methods, and training specialists in other aviation fields.

Currently, the aviation training center offers 28 training programs, of which the most extensive and in-demand are:

∙ Initial training program for flight attendants.

∙ Boeing 737NG Type Rating Pilot Training Program.

The flight attendant training program is open to anyone who meets health requirements. Upon completion of the program, students receive a government-issued package of documents, allowing them to continue their career with any Russian airline. For students in the second cohort, NordStar Airlines offers the opportunity to undergo a preliminary interview and, if successful, receive free training followed by employment with NordStar Airlines. Detailed information about the program, terms, and start dates is available on the website. www.nordstar.ru in the section Aviation Training Center.

NordStar Airlines has summarized its operational results for 2025. Over the 12 months of 2025, the airline demonstrated stable growth in key performance indicators compared to the previous period: 1,265,000 passengers were carried on its own flights, with passenger turnover reaching 3,276 million passenger-kilometers. Annual flight hours totaled 28,995. The airline transported 4,303 tons of mail and cargo in 2025.

More than half of the airline's key performance indicators are driven by the extensive route network of its home base, Norilsk. In 2025, the airline operated scheduled flights from Norilsk to 20 destinations. Scheduled flights to Gelendzhik and Krasnodar, previously restricted, were reinstated. More than 600,000 passengers were carried, with annual passenger turnover exceeding 1.514 billion passenger kilometers. Flight hours on Norilsk routes totaled 14,318. Mail and cargo volumes totaled 3,420 tonnes.

"2025 was marked by the development and enhancement of passenger accessibility and loyalty. One of the key objectives in this regard was the opening of our own ticket and service sales offices in the Norilsk Industrial District. In the summer of 2025, two sales offices were opened – in Norilsk and Talnakh – and for six months, they have been providing passengers with a full range of services face-to-face, including information, flight selection, and ticket booking. The development of sales office services will continue in the next period," notes Leonid Mokhov, CEO of NordStar Airlines. "Another step toward strengthening loyalty was the global update of the "Flying is Easy!" frequent flyer loyalty program. The new program is more passenger-focused and will soon offer significantly more opportunities for independent planning of how to use privileges."

Particular attention is being paid to developing internal competencies. 2025 marks an active phase of development for the Aviation Training Center, with the expansion of training programs. Currently, the Aviation Training Center offers initial flight attendant training for the Boeing 737 NG, pilot training in emergency rescue procedures (ERP), and initial and recurrent flight attendant instructor training. This marks a new stage in the company's efforts to build a sustainable talent base and maintain quality onboard service. It also marks the first step toward independent learning—anyone interested in pursuing a career in aviation with the goal of eventually finding employment with Russian airlines can take this training.

In 2026, the airline is focused on further expanding its flight geography, while maintaining a priority focus on maintaining a consistently high level of flight safety, as well as improving service levels to ensure the most comfortable travel experience for every passenger.

NordStar Airlines is celebrating its 17th anniversary. December 17, 2008, is considered the airline's first day of operations. The new company's founding gave impetus to the development of air travel from the Arctic city of Norilsk to the mainland and further expanded the geography of flights from its base airports of Domodedovo and Krasnoyarsk. Over the past 17 years, the airline has come a long way from a small carrier with just three aircraft to a major Russian airline, expanding its production capacity, expanding its fleet, and today offers its passengers one of the most extensive route networks, and for passengers from Norilsk, perhaps the largest route network in the airport's history – 20 scheduled destinations throughout Russia.

NordStar Airlines is annually ranked among Russia's largest air carriers, with passenger traffic exceeding 1 million. In October 2025, the airline carried its millionth passenger, confirming the popularity of its routes, passenger trust, and high level of service. Today, NordStar Airlines flies to over 45 destinations within Russia, covering many regions of the country.

In 2025, NordStar Airlines expanded its presence in the Norilsk Industrial Region by opening two airline ticket and service sales offices in Norilsk and Talnakh.

In the fall of 2025, the frequent flyer loyalty program was completely revamped. The program became clearer and more beneficial for passengers, replacing traditional miles with Stars. One Star is equivalent to one ruble and can be used to pay for airline tickets. Passengers also gained access to an expanded list of privileges, from access to premium lounges to special offers.

NordStar Airlines is actively investing in developing its internal competencies. Its engineering and technical staff independently perform complex aircraft maintenance, ensuring high levels of safety and efficiency. In 2025, the airline opened its own Aviation Training Center. It trains future pilots and flight attendants, and provides advanced training for existing employees. This is an important step in building a sustainable talent base and maintaining a high level of onboard service.

"Our seventeenth anniversary is not only a source of pride but also a starting point for new achievements. NordStar's immediate plans include expanding its route network, implementing digital solutions, and improving operational efficiency and environmental sustainability. Seventeen years is a milestone when it's especially important to remain true to our chosen course and continue to develop. I'd like to express special gratitude to our passengers. The trust expressed in every ticket issued is our main focus and motivation to move forward," noted Leonid Mokhov, CEO of NordStar Airlines.

On the airline's birthday, passengers can expect pleasant surprises on board and at sales offices in Norilsk, with the biggest gift being a festive airfare sale. Tickets to and from Norilsk are available at unprecedented rates – starting from 17,000 rubles for round-trip travel to Moscow, Novosibirsk, Abakan, St. Petersburg, Yekaterinburg, Sochi, Mineralnye Vody, Ufa, Krasnodar, and Chelyabinsk from January 20, 2026, to April 10, 2026.

11/25/2025 on the resourcehttps://vvv.kommersant.ru/daughter/8230045Information was published that NordStar Airlines, at the request of the prosecutor's office, paid its employees over 1.9 million rubles in unpaid wages.

Unfortunately, the rumor was picked up by several regional and Russian online news outlets, which also spread information that a case had been opened against the airline's director for wage arrears.

This information is unverified and inaccurate. NordStar Airlines strictly complies with all Russian labor law requirements regarding the procedure and timing of salary payments. The aforementioned payment of 1.99 million rubles was made to cover overtime work under a summarized accounting system. According to current Russian legislation, this payment is subject to transfer at the end of the relevant summarized accounting period (in this case, the summarized accounting period was from January 1, 2025, to September 30, 2025).

Thus, the payment of 1.99 million rubles was made on time and in strict compliance with the law. NordStar Airlines has no outstanding wage arrears to its employees. Furthermore, there are no pending cases against NordStar Airlines' CEO for wage arrears or any other violations of Russian labor law.

We urge media representatives to be responsible about the information they post on their resources and to verify information with official sources before publishing, and not to disseminate unverified or inaccurate information.

Please rely solely on the official statement of the Airline and the Prosecutor's Office regarding this matter.
