Commerce Again Renews Export Denial Order for Mahan Airways

The Commerce Department again renewed a temporary export denial order for Mahan Airways because the airline continues to violate the order and the Export Administration Regulations, according to a May 13 notice. Mahan Airways has been on the banned list since 2008, and Commerce said the Iranian airline increased its services into Moscow in April after the U.S. and other countries imposed sanctions and export controls against Russia for its invasion of Ukraine (see 2202240069 and 2203180049). The latest renewal is for 180 days from May 13.
