JSC "Nordavia" (Russian: ЗАО «Нордавиа»), formerly known as Aeroflot-Nord (Russian: ЗАО «Аэрофлот-Норд») is an airline with its head office on the grounds of Talagi Airport in Arkhangelsk, Russia.[2] It operates mainly scheduled domestic and regional services. Its main bases are Talagi Airport and Moscow Sheremetyevo Airport.[3]

History [link]
The airline was formed in 1963 as Arkhangelsk United Aviation Squadron (Russian: Архангельский объединенный авиационный отряд) and became AVL Arkhangelsk Airlines (Russian: Архангельские воздушные линии) in 1991. In August 2004 Aeroflot acquired 51% of the airline, with the rest being held by Aviainvest. The company was renamed Aeroflot-Nord, becoming Aeroflot's second regional airline.[4] It joined the European Regions Airline Association in December 2006.
As the contract with Aeroflot ceased on 1 December 2009, the airline operates since then independently as Nordavia.[5] Reasons for the retreat of Aeroflot were the bad press the subsidiary received following the Aeroflot Flight 821 disaster, and the decision of Russian aviation officials dating from 15 July 2009, to impose restrictions (including ban on international charter tours) on then Aeroflot-Nord flight operations due to insufficient security and bad finances.[6]
In March 2011, Aeroflot sold the airline to Norilsk Nickel for a reported US$7 million. Kommersant has quoted experts who believe that Norilsk Nickel may merge Nordavia with Taimyr Air Company, which is already owned by the company.[7] On December 1, 2011 Norilsk Nickel reported that Nordavia is to be merged in Taimyr Air Company.[8]

You Will Be Mine
by: NarrativeGreen eyes staring as the room spins baby from behind
your desk
Until you know you look so good with your pale skin in
your bright blue dress
Well I talked and I learned and my tongue couldn't turn
its tricks on you
So I tripped and perspired and fled from your island to
plan my next move
And all this time I'm waiting for a taste of what you
hide
But I'll know better when I am in too deep
You will be mine
You will be mine
You will be mine
You will be mine
Sit tight, baby, we'll be just fine slurring over
drinks for two
But it's only a chase if you've been holding out
Still, though the wine is tempting you
And you talked and you learned that my heart wouldn't
turn
But it's too late now to lose
It's the catch in your speech, it's your clothes at
your feet
And the way you dance to how I groove
And all this time I'm waiting for a taste of what you
hide
But I'll know better when I am in too deep
You will be mine
You will be mine
You will be mine
You will be mine
Sorry honey I'll be late tonight
Sorry honey I'll be late tonight
Don't wait up for me this time
Don't wait up for me this time
Sorry honey I'll be late tonight
Sorry honey I'll be late tonight
Don't wait up for me this time
And all this time I'm waiting for a taste of what you
hide
But I'll know better when I am in too deep
You will be mine
And don't ask what this ring is for,
I have yet to realize
But I'll know better when I am in too deep
You will be mine
You will be mine
