Order Renewing Temporary Denial of Export Privileges for Aviastar-TU
AI-generated summary for informational purposes only. Not legal advice. See the original source for the authoritative text.
The U.S. Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) has renewed a Temporary Denial Order (TDO) against Russian airline Aviastar-TU for one additional year, effective immediately until March 31, 2027. This is the sixth renewal of an order first issued in April 2022. Aviastar is accused of repeatedly operating U.S.-origin aircraft (Boeing 757s classified under ECCN 9A991.b) on international flights from China and India into Russia and on domestic flights within Russia, in direct violation of EAR aviation controls imposed after Russia's invasion of Ukraine and the existing TDO itself. The renewal is justified by a demonstrated pattern of ongoing, deliberate, and continuous violations, making future breaches imminent.
