BIS Renews Denial Orders for Russian Cargo Airline

The Bureau of Industry and Security this week renewed the temporary denial order for Moscow-based air cargo carrier Aviastar. BIS first suspended the export privileges of the Russian cargo charter airline in April (see 2204210043), barring it from participating in transactions with items subject to the Export Administration Regulations. The agency renewed the denial order for another 180 days after finding Aviastar continued to illegally operate aircraft subject to the EAR, including for flights between Russia and China.
