The Severny Airport was founded in 1929 andis located in the Zaeltsinsky district of the city of Novosibirsk. For eighty-two years of his existence, he "saw" a lot. During the terrible years of the Great Patriotic War, it was the rear-end airport, actively developing in the post-war years. In 1959 the terminal building was built. It is this time can rightly be considered the flowering of the airport. In 1959 a second airport was built in Novosibirsk under the name "Tolmachevo".
Secondary roles
Airport "Severny" (Novosibirsk) has changed itsstatus and fell into the background. Although in those days he was very fond of the townspeople. Soon it began to be used for the needs of small aircraft with the status of "city airport". Novosibirsk gradually got used to the secondary role of the "Northern", which served regional and local airlines. He also took sports aircraft. In many ways, such a decline in the status of the airport "North" (Novosibirsk) deserved because of its location. After all, he is in the city, and, subject to the northwesterly wind, the planes are forced to go into the landing, flying over the center of Novosibirsk, which, of course, did not fail to affect the safety of flights.
Arsenal of the airfield
Airport "North" (Novosibirsk) had in its arsenal three runways. The covering of one was of asphalt concrete, the other two strips were ground.

Sports flights on the airplanes of the Novosibirsk air clubs became the main specialization of the Severny airport. A significant event was the holding of the World Aerobatics Championship in 2008. All flights were carried out on the Yak-52 aircraft. It was a holiday of sports aviation, aerial acrobatics and parachute sport, forever entered the airplane in history.
Retired
The airport is currently closed. In many ways, this was facilitated by a sharp deterioration in the situation in the nineties. Decrease in the number of air transportation, unprofitable sales of property, misuse and inefficient use of budget funds led to bankruptcy of the enterprise and sale of property. Gradually, the airport "Tolmachevo" won the first priority, thanks to its more advantageous location, modern technological equipment. From 01.02.2011 the airport "Severny" (Novosibirsk) is closed and does not function.
