Notice
Summary
Azur Air from Russia keeps facing a temporary ban on exporting goods because they’ve repeatedly broken U.S. export rules. The government just renewed this ban again to stop more rule-breaking and protect public safety. This means Azur Air can’t export for a while longer, and anyone working with them should watch the clock and their wallets.

One-year renewal: Azur Air export ban
The Bureau of Industry and Security renewed a Temporary Denial Order that bars Azur Air (Office 29, Vzletnaya St. 57, Krasnoyarsk, Russia 660020) from participating in any transaction involving items subject to the Export Administration Regulations (EAR). The Order is effective immediately on publication (Federal Register Sept. 19, 2025) and remains in effect for one year.
U.S. persons banned from dealing with Azur
If you are a U.S. exporter, service provider, financier, or other person involved with items subject to the EAR, you may not export, reexport, transfer to or on behalf of Azur, facilitate Azur's acquisition of EAR items, obtain EAR items from Azur in the United States, or service EAR items owned or controlled by Azur, except activities directly related to safety of flight and authorized by BIS (Section 764.3(a)(2)).
Safety-of-flight exception allowed with BIS OK
The Order allows interactions with Azur that are directly related to safety of flight only if authorized by BIS pursuant to Section 764.3(a)(2) of the EAR. If you provide safety-of-flight services, you must obtain BIS authorization to lawfully perform those activities for Azur while the Order is in effect.
