BIS Renews Denial Orders for Russian Airline, Cargo Carrier

The Bureau of Industry and Security recently renewed temporary denial orders for Russian airline Ural Airlines (see 2304110018) for one year and Russian cargo carrier Aviastar (see 2304180012) for six months after the agency said both continue to “act in blatant disregard” for U.S. export controls. BIS said Ural has continued to illegally operate aircraft on flights between Russia and Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan, and Aviastar has operated flights between China and Russia. The TDOs bar the airlines from participating in transactions with items subject to the Export Administration Regulations.
