BIS Renews Denial Orders for 3 Russian Airlines for 1 Year

The Bureau of Industry and Security again renewed temporary denial orders for three Russian airlines accused of violating U.S. export controls against Russia. BIS first suspended the export privileges of Aeroflot, Azur Air and UTair in 2022, barring the airlines from participating in transactions with items subject to the Export Administration Regulations (see 2204070010), and has renewed their denial orders several times (see 2309270004). BIS said all three airlines continue to "act in blatant disregard" for U.S. export controls by continuing to operate aircraft subject to the EAR. The orders include a table of recent flights operated by each airline.

The orders were renewed for one year from Sept. 20.
