The Biden administration identified billionaire Roman Abramovich’s Gulfstream business jet among 100 for apparent violations of the nation’s export controls imposed over Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
The sanctions apply to commercial and private aircraft destined for Russia and Belarus in recent weeks, the Commerce Department’s Bureau of Industry and Security said in a statement. Other planes were listed as belonging to carriers including Aeroflot PJSC.
Abramovich was listed as the owner or operator of a Gulfstream G650ER, a long-range, twin-engine business aircraft considered one of the most prestigious in private aviation. Introduced in 2008, the G650 series gave parent Gulfstream bragging rights as the maker of the world’s biggest luxury jet until Bombardier’s Global 7500 debuted in 2018. The Commerce Department said it wants to notify the public that providing any form of service to these aircraft requires authorisation.
