During more than 45 years since its foundation, Moldaeroservice has become one of the most experienced providers of aviation services with Mi-2 and An-2 helicopters not only in Moldova, but also abroad (Egypt, Algeria, Iraq, Romania, Bulgaria, Turkey, Singapore and South Korea).

281 (281-й ЛО (Бельцы) - Лётный Отряд) was subordinated to the Civil Aviation Directorate of the Moldavian Soviet Socialist Republic (Молдавское УГА - Управление Гражданской Авиациии).

Among the commanders of the Combined Aviation Unit of Bălți were: Alexei Lyciman, Yevgeny Ilyakov, Anatolii Bajucov, Alexei Alexeev, Vasilii Burma, Ivan Tomac, Vladimir Rishkov, Valery Cenin.

Among the heads of the airport's technical services base were Grigore Rotari, Boris Cabac, Victor Gherta.

The airport and ground service was headed by Petru Lobanov, Rașid Biriucov, Dmitrie Gubarev, Vasile Barabaș.

In 1989 the concrete runway was put into operation at the newly built Bălți-Leadoveni International Airport (also managed by Moldaeroservice), thanks to which the passengers from the northern region of the Republic of Moldova gained the possibility of air travel to 14 cities of the former USSR with aircraft of the type Antonov An-24, Tupolev Tu-134, Let L-410 Turbolet until 1993.
