Russia’s Ural Airlines hit by US export control order

The United States Department of Commerce has identified Yekaterinburg-based Russian air carrier Ural Airlines as being in violation of U.S. export control laws, hitting it with an order denying it export privileges.

The recent order denies export privileges and terminates the right for the airline to take part in transactions subject to US export regulations, Reuters reported on October 17, 2022. It means that Ural Airlines is no longer allowed to export and re-export any products from the US and is prohibited to re-export any US-produced goods from third countries.

Currently, there are more than twelve Russian airlines on the US authority’s list. These include Russia’s national carrier Aeroflot, AirBridgeCargo, Aviastar-TU, Alrosa, and Azur Air, as well as Nordwind, Pegas Fly, Pobeda, Rossiya Airlines, Royal Flight, S7 Airlines, and Utair.
