BIS Issues Denial Order for Another Russian Airline

The Bureau of Industry and Security on May 20 suspended the export privileges of another Russian airline for violating U.S. export controls against Russia. The agency issued a 180-day temporary denial order for Rossiya Airlines, BIS said in an emailed news release, adding that the order “terminates” Rossiya’s ability to participate in transactions subject to the Export Administration Regulations. The agency also identified other aircraft that are likely violating U.S. export controls, including another plane owned by Russian oligarch Roman Abramovich.
