OFAC Adds Venezuelan Airline, Fleet to SDN List

The Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control added Venezuela’s state-owned airline and its fleet of more than 35 aircrafts to its Specially Designated Nationals List, Treasury said in a Feb. 7 press release. The airline, Consorcio Venezolano de Industrias Aeronáuticas y Servicios Aereos, S.A., and its fleet have been sanctioned since August as part of a U.S. executive order to block Venezuelan government property, Treasury said. Treasury added the airline and its fleet to the SDN list to “ensure strengthened compliance with U.S. sanctions.”
