The United States has temporarily canceled export privileges for the Rossiya airline, REUTERS reports, citing the country's Commerce Department.
The reason was "continued violations of export controls" imposed on RUSSIA. This is already the fifth Russian air carrier that has lost its export privileges.
RBC sent a request to the press service of Rossiya Airlines.
In April, similar measures were introduced against Aeroflot, Utair, Azur Air and the cargo company Aviastar-TU. They were deprived of access to products from the United States, as well as the re-export of American goods from other countries. The restrictions are valid for 180 days, but the Ministry of Trade did not rule out that it could be extended.
In addition, according to Reuters, the United States authorities included the Bureau in the list of export control violators of the Boeing 787 Dreamliner, which belongs to businessman Roman Abramovich. This is his second plane, which was on the list.
