Gazproms Sanctions

Gazpromavia , in-house operator of Gazprom, has imported several aircraft parts manufactured by Honeywell Aerospace, worth over 2 million dollars. Using a Russian intermediary called Modern Mining Machines LLC, Gazpromavia was able to import the parts.

Gazpromavia is only being sanctioned in Ukraine but not in the European Union or the United States. This is despite the fact that it falls under the blanket ban on exports of aviation parts to Russia. Gazprom is also designated under the United States but not in the European Union.

The operator’s fleet comprises one B737-700, two B737-700s, Falcon 8Xs, Falcon 900Bs, Falcon 900LXs, three Falcon 900EX EASy, four Falcon 7X,and eight SSJ 100/95LRs.

Arsenal LLC, allegedly linked to Gazprom, was also seen to have acquired the Falcon 7X  for about 36 million dollars. It acquired the aircraft from Kazakhstan’s Irtysh Avia in February 2023. The aircraft is currently operated under the code of North-West Aircompany.

Alleged Affiliations

North-West Aircompany, allegedly linked to Gazprom, registered an import of a Global 6000 in March 2024. Fleets module from ch-aviation shows Gazprom has added a number of business jets from abroad since 2022. Some of these including an ACJ318-100 previously registered in San Marino and a G650 previously registered in Austria in 2022, a Falcon 7X and two Global 6500s (one each from the US and South African registers) in 2023, and two Global 6000s (one each from the US and Chinese registers) and, as of recent an ACJ320-200N in 2024.

North-West Technics, Gazprom’s subsidiary, was also importing various Gulfstream spare parts, mostly through China.

Aviatis, another operator reportedly affiliated with another US-sanctioned oligarch, Gennady Timchenko, is also seen to have been importing Rockwell Collins gear spares from a Turkish intermediary, Alden Gida San Ve Tic Ltd.
