Emperor Aviation Removed from SDN List

The US government has removed Emperor Aviation from its list of specially designated nations (SDNs). This is effective May 3, but it is expected to be published tomorrow in the Federal Register. This will also remove from the SDN list certain registry numbers from the Emperor Aviation fleet that were previously listed under the SDN list.

Emperor Aviation is based in Malta but was alleged to have Russian connections as well.

Please note that exports of aircraft parts to Russia are still subject to sanctions under other regulations, like Russian and Belarusian industry sector sanctions which apply to certain parts based on their harmonized tariff codes, and the Sanctions against Russia and Belarus, which apply to export to Russia of any item subject to the EAR and specified in any Export Control Classification Number (ECCN).
