True or False: The Bureau of Industry and Security’s letter of September 12, 2025, which removed eight Boeing 737s from General Prohibition Ten and permitted Belavia to procure parts, also authorized the airline to operate those Boeing aircraft on routes to Russia.

Question

Accepted Answer

False. On September 12, 2025, the U.S. Bureau of Industry and Security removed eight Boeing 737 narrowbodies from General Prohibition Ten—allowing Belavia to obtain spare parts and operate them domestically and internationally—but the same letter explicitly prohibited flights to Russia, Iran, Syria, Cuba, North Korea, and Russian-occupied parts of Ukraine under EAR §736.2(b)(10) (General Prohibition Ten) ). Despite this, ADS-B flight-tracking data shows Belavia deployed several of these Boeing jets on rotations into Moscow, which would violate the BIS directive ). Therefore, U.S. sanctions relief did not legally permit Belavia to fly its Boeing planes to Russia.
