Headquarters

Norilsk, Russia

NordStar Airlines is a Russian regional carrier headquartered in Norilsk, one of the northernmost and most isolated cities in the world. The airline primarily serves routes connecting Norilsk and other Siberian and Arctic destinations to major Russian cities, providing a vital transportation link for communities with limited ground transport options. Founded in 2008, NordStar operates as a subsidiary of Norilsk Nickel, the world's largest producer of nickel and palladium, which ensures a steady base of corporate and industrial passengers. The airline has expanded its network over the years to include routes beyond Siberia, reaching Moscow, St. Petersburg, and other key Russian hubs. NordStar has faced operational challenges common to Arctic aviation, including extreme weather conditions and logistical complexity. The airline operates modern narrowbody jets suited to the demanding environment of northern Russia.

NordStar's primary hub is Alykel Airport (NSK) in Norilsk, with additional operations through Moscow's Sheremetyevo Airport.

Fleet
