BIS Again Renews Denial Order for Belarusian Airline

The Bureau of Industry and Security again renewed the temporary denial order for Belavia Belarusian Airlines, Belarus' state-owned national airline. BIS first suspended the export privileges of the airline in June (see 2206160015) and has renewed that suspension twice, barring it from participating in transactions with items subject to the Export Administration Regulations. The agency this week renewed the denial order for one year -- longer than the previous 180-day renewals -- after finding Belavia continues to illegally operate aircraft subject to the EAR, including for flights between Russia, Belarus, Turkey and Egypt.
