BIS grounds illegal supply of US parts to Iranian airlines

The US Department of Commerce’s Bureau of Industry and Security (‘BIS’) has acted against a Turkish national, and three Turkish companies over the supply of US aircraft engines and parts to Iranian airlines (5 February).

BIS has issued a temporary denial order (‘TDO’) to suspend the export privileges of Gulnihal Yegane, Trigron Lojistik Kargo Limited Sirketi, and affiliated companies Ufuk Avia Lojistik Limited Sirketi and RA Havacilik Lojistik Ve Tasimacilik Ticaret Limited Sirketi. Yeghae was already on the BIS Entity List for previously supplying parts to designated Iranian airline Mahan Air.

‘Today’s action sends a strong message that trade with Iran in violation of U.S. export control laws and regulations will not be tolerated,’ said Commerce under-secretary Mira Ricardel. ‘The Bureau of Industry and Security will vigorously pursue parties that seek to take advantage of U.S. companies by providing false end-use information and that seek to profit from illegally supplying materials to Iran.’
