The primary operator of Severomorsk-2 (after 1965 Safonvo-1) was 403 ODLAP (403rd Independent Long Range Aviation Regiment) operating Beriev Be-12PS search and rescue aircraft. It is a relatively small airfield compared to nearby Severomorsk-1, and was shut down in 1998. Google Earth high-resolution images since have shown that the airbase was unattended and in a state of decay.

In mid-2022, Admiral Aleksandr Alekseyevich Moiseyev announced that the air base would be reconstructed.[1]
