WARNING: OMDW || RA-76370 || ABAKAN AIR || PLEASE DO NOT SUPPORT DEFAULTERS
Tonight, an aircraft IL-76TD with reg. number RA-76370 of ABAKAN AIR (PUMV FZE) arrived from Uganda to OMDW/Dubai Al Maktoum Airport. This company is a defaulter, against which a case has been created in the Global Aviation Register of Defaulter companies BLACKLIST.AERO. Claim amount is USD 1,037,841.60
Previously, this aircraft was stopped at HUEN/Entebbe Airport (Uganda) after a letter that BLACKLIST.AERO sent to local aviation authorities. The aircraft stood there for 11 days.
We are grateful to all three fuel companies in Entebbe for their professional solidarity. They all refused to refuel the aircraft of the defaulter company. As a result, the management of ABAKAN AIR had to "pull out" their plane, using diplomatic channels and begging for fuel from the military. Considering the nature of the cargo that ABAKAN AIR carries, and considering who it carries these very interesting cargoes to, we are not surprised that they were still given the opportunity to fly. We will probably write about the weapons stories involving ABAKAN AIR later.
Now the administration of BLACKLIST.AERO calls on all participants in the aviation market to show professional solidarity and not to cooperate with this airline at Al Maktoum Airport (Dubai). Claimant, the Dubai based company ORC AVIATION AND CHEMICALS (company name is published with claimant's approval) has already submitted official letters to the UAE aviation authorities asking not to release the plane until the case is fully resolved.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Abakan Air was designated by the U.S. OFAC on June 12, 2024, under Executive Order 14024 related to Russia. It has been officially added to the SDN (Specially Designated Nationals) list. The company accused of: supporting Russia’s defense industrial base, specifically through, arms deliveries and transport of other military equipment and conducting operations in Sub‑Saharan Africa allegedly on behalf of the private military company Wagner.

Two years prior to its bankruptcy, SIA SmartLynx Airlines (Latvia) issued an unsecured loan to the Lithuanian company UAB Portlite.

The editorial team of BLACKLIST.AERO has obtained a copy of this letter.
According to information obtained by the editorial team of the BLACKLIST.AERO registry, Harmony Jets and Harmony Aircraft Services have completely ceased operations.
BLACKLIST.AERO would like to inform industry participants about outstanding operational debts associated with aircraft T7-PSJ (Gulfstream IV-SP, MSN 1251).
A new bankruptcy has emerged involving an airline previously belonging to Avia Solutions Group. Following the collapse of SmartLynx Airlines Latvia, bankruptcy proceedings have now been initiated for SmartLynx Airlines Estonia OÜ. A copy of the decision by the Tallinn district court Harju Maakohus to open bankruptcy proceedings was obtained by the administration of BLACKLIST.AERO from a source within the legal community.
