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.

For almost a year now, the BLACKLIST.AERO administration has had information about a significant part of Abdullah Al-Sayed’s assets, which he acquired with the money stolen from NEXUS FLIGHT OPERATIONS creditors. However, the information we obtained was kept away from the public. Instead of making it public, we decided to pass on all the information we had to the trustee Jumana Majdi Qutub in Saudi Arabia, who is searching for NEXUS assets for subsequent compensation of losses to the creditors of this company.
Can one company become a 39-Cases Defaulter? As the situation with the Nigerian operator ARIK AIR shows - it can if lawlessness is carried out and patronized at the state level.
This was not a voting with any outcome we knew we wanted. Both options have their advantages and challenges for us. But it was important for us to understand the real sentiments among active participants of the aviation market. Because for us these are the people who are called policy makers.
Dear BLACKLIST.AERO followers! It is extremely important for us to hear your opinion on one of the most important issues of our site. As you well know, we never delete articles from our site. For all three years, no one has managed to intimidate or bribe us. I told them every time - even if you bang your head against the brick wall, hire lawyers, bandits, killers, anyone, throw mud at us (and at me personally) in the form of various, the most idiotic fakes - it will not help! It also never came to discussing specific amounts for removing an article, because such proposals were nipped in the bud.
