BIS Renews Denial Orders for Russian Cargo Airline

The Bureau of Industry and Security again 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 2022 (see 2204210043) and renewed the order in October (see 2210190009), barring it from participating in transactions with items subject to the Export Administration Regulations. The agency renewed the denial order for another 180 days April 14 after finding Aviastar continued to illegally operate aircraft subject to the EAR, including for flights within Russia.
