Recent Industry Scandal Overview
Recently, the U.S. Department of Justice exposed a network involved in the illegal export of aircraft parts to Russia, in direct violation of international sanctions. Companies such as Flighttime Enterprises Inc. and associated individuals were charged with smuggling, document falsification, and money laundering. This case highlights serious risks for companies across the aviation supply chain.
Your company could be unknowingly exposed if clients, brokers, or logistics partners divert parts to restricted destinations.
Sanctions apply even when goods are routed through intermediary countries.
Penalties include fines, decertification, legal action, and reputational damage.
To protect your business, we recommend the following best practices:
Always identify and confirm the end user of each shipment.
Require and validate end-use declarations with traceability tools.
Stay up to date with the following official lists:
Include clauses that prohibit re-export to sanctioned destinations.
Define clear penalties for diversion or false declarations
Provide regular training for sales, procurement, and logistics staff.
Ensure they understand the risks of indirect export violations
Consider a pre-audit of your export compliance process, especially if you have clients or shipments routed through high-risk transit hubs like Turkey, UAE, or Armenia.
