Statement of Licensing Policy for Export, Reexport, and Transfer (In-Country) Applications Related to Belavia – Belarusian Airlines

Download as PDF

This Statement of Licensing Policy (SLP) is issued in conjunction with a new letter authorization pertaining to Belavia-Belarusian Airlines (Belavia).  

On September 12, 2025, BIS issued a letter authorizing, among other activities, flights of certain Belavia aircraft between Belarus and most other destinations.  This letter also authorizes the service, maintenance, repair, overhaul, or refurbishing of such aircraft.  See Letter Authorization

Consistent with this letter, BIS has removed eight Belavia aircraft from its General Prohibition 10 (GP10) list, whose continued listing would otherwise prevent the maintenance, repair, overhaul, or refurbishing of such aircraft.  See Updated GP10 List.

For exports, reexports, or transfers (in-country) of equipment, supplies, and materials that remain subject to an export license to or for use in connection with Belavia aircraft, license applications now will generally be reviewed on a case-by-case basis to determine whether the items are for the maintenance and use of Belavia’s commercial passenger fleet, and to guard against the risk of diversion to other unsupported end-uses or end-users.
