Pursuant to Section 766.24 of the Export Administration
Regulations, 15 CFR parts 730-774 (2012) (``EAR'' or the
``Regulations''), I hereby grant the request of the Office of Export
Enforcement (``OEE'') to renew the February 15, 2012 Order Temporarily
Denying the Export Privileges of Mahan Airways, Zarand Aviation,
Gatewick LLC, Pejman Mahmood Kosarayanifard, Mahmoud Amini, Kerman
Aviation, Sirjanco Trading LLC, and Ali Eslamian, as modified by an
order dated April 9, 2012, adding Mahan Air General Trading LLC, Skyco
(UK) Ltd., and Equipco (UK) Ltd. as related persons. I find that
renewal of the Temporary Denial Order (``TDO'') is necessary in the
public interest to prevent an imminent violation of the EAR.\1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ The August 24, 2011 Order was published in the Federal
Register on August 31, 2011. See 76 FR 54198.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
I. Procedural History
On March 17, 2008, Darryl W. Jackson, the then-Assistant Secretary
of Commerce for Export Enforcement (``Assistant Secretary''), signed a
TDO denying Mahan Airways' export privileges for a period of 180 days
on the grounds that its issuance was
[[Page 48961]]
necessary in the public interest to prevent an imminent violation of
the Regulations. The TDO also named as denied persons Blue Airways, of
Yerevan, Armenia (``Blue Airways of Armenia''), as well as the ``Balli
Group Respondents,'' namely, Balli Group PLC, Balli Aviation, Balli
Holdings, Vahid Alaghband, Hassan Alaghband, Blue Sky One Ltd., Blue
Sky Two Ltd., Blue Sky Three Ltd., Blue Sky Four Ltd., Blue Sky Five
Ltd., and Blue Sky Six Ltd., all of the United Kingdom. The TDO was
issued ex parte pursuant to Section 766.24(a), and went into effect on
March 21, 2008, the date it was published in the Federal Register.
The TDO subsequently has been renewed in accordance with Section
766.24(d), including most recently on February 15, 2012, with
modifications and the additions of related persons having been made to
the TDO during 2010, 2011, and most recently on April 9, 2012.\2\ As of
March 9, 2010, the Balli Group Respondents and Blue Airways were no
longer subject to the TDO. As part of the February 25, 2011 TDO
renewal, Gatwick LLC, Mahmoud Amini, and Pejman Mahmood Kasarayanifard
(``Kosarian Fard'') were added as related persons in accordance with
Section 766.23 of the Regulations. On July 1, 2011, the TDO was
modified by adding Zarand Aviation as a respondent in order to prevent
an imminent violation. Specifically, Zarand Aviation owned an Airbus
A310, an aircraft subject to the Regulations, that was being operated
for the benefit of Mahan Airways in violation of both the TDO and the
Regulations. As part of the August 24, 2011 renewal, Kerman Aviation,
Sirjanco Trading LLC, and Ali Eslamian were added to the TDO as related
persons. Mahan Air General Trading LLC, Skyco (UK) Ltd., and Equipco
(UK) Ltd. were added as related persons on April 9, 2012.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\2\ The TDO was renewed on September 17, 2008, March 16, 2009,
September 11, 2009, March 9, 2010, September 3, 2010, February 24,
2011, August 24, 2011, and February 15, 2012. The August 24, 2011
renewal followed the modification of the TDO on July 1, 2011, which,
as discussed above, added Zarand Aviation as a respondent. Each
renewal or modification order was published in the Federal Register.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
On July 24, 2012, BIS, through its Office of Export Enforcement
(``OEE''), filed a written request for renewal of the TDO. The current
TDO dated February 15, 2012, will expire, unless renewed, on August 13,
2012. Notice of the renewal request was provided to Mahan Airways and
Zarand Aviation by delivery of a copy of the request in accordance with
Sections 766.5 and 766.24(d) of the Regulations. Although not required
by the Regulations, courtesy copies of the renewal request were sent to
the other parties, originally named to the TDO as related persons. No
opposition to any aspect of the renewal of the TDO has been received
from either Mahan Airways or Zarand Aviation. Furthermore, no appeal of
the related person determinations I made as part of the of the
September 3, 2010, February 25, 2011, August 24, 2011, and April 9,
2012 Renewal Orders has been made by Gatewick LLC, Kosarian Fard,
Mahmoud Amini, Kerman Aviation, Sirjanco Trading LLC, Ali Eslamian,
Mahan Air General Trading LLC, Skyco (UK) Ltd., or Equipco (UK) Ltd.\3\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\3\ A party named or added as a related person may not oppose
the issuance or renewal of the underlying temporary denial order,
but may file an appeal of the related person determination in
accordance with Section 766.23(c).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
II. Renewal of the TDO
A. Legal Standard
Pursuant to Section 766.24, BIS may issue or renew an order
temporarily denying a respondent's export privileges upon a showing
that the order is necessary in the public interest to prevent an
``imminent violation'' of the Regulations. 15 CFR 766.24(b)(1) and
776.24(d). ``A violation may be `imminent' either in time or degree of
likelihood.'' 15 CFR 766.24(b)(3). BIS may show ``either that a
violation is about to occur, or that the general circumstances of the
matter under investigation or case under criminal or administrative
charges demonstrate a likelihood of future violations.'' Id. As to the
likelihood of future violations, BIS may show that ``the violation
under investigation or charges is significant, deliberate, covert and/
or likely to occur again, rather than technical or negligent [.]'' Id.
A ``lack of information establishing the precise time a violation may
occur does not preclude a finding that a violation is imminent, so long
as there is sufficient reason to believe the likelihood of a
violation.'' Id.
B. The TDO and BIS's Request for Renewal
OEE's request for renewal is based upon the facts underlying the
issuance of the initial TDO and the TDO renewals in this matter and the
evidence developed over the course of this investigation indicating a
blatant disregard of U.S. export controls and the TDO. The initial TDO
was issued as a result of evidence that showed that Mahan Airways and
other parties engaged in conduct prohibited by the EAR by knowingly re-
exporting to Iran three U.S.-origin aircraft, specifically Boeing 747s
(``Aircraft 1-3''), items subject to the EAR and classified under
Export Control Classification Number (``ECCN'') 9A991.b, without the
required U.S. Government authorization. Further evidence submitted by
BIS indicated that Mahan Airways was involved in the attempted re-
export of three additional U.S.-origin Boeing 747s (``Aircraft 4-6'')
to Iran.
As discussed in the September 17, 2008 TDO Renewal Order, evidence
presented by BIS indicated that Aircraft 1-3 continued to be flown on
Mahan Airways' routes after issuance of the TDO, in violation of the
Regulations and the TDO itself.\4\ It also showed that Aircraft 1-3 had
been flown in further violation of the Regulations and the TDO on the
routes of Iran Air, an Iranian Government airline. Moreover, as
discussed in the March 16, 2009, September 11, 2009 and March 9, 2010
Renewal Orders, Mahan Airways registered Aircraft 1-3 in Iran, obtained
Iranian tail numbers for them (including EP-MNA and EP-MNB), and
continued to operate at least two of them in violation of the
Regulations and the TDO,\5\ while also committing an additional knowing
and willful violation of the Regulations and the TDO when it negotiated
for and acquired an additional U.S.-origin aircraft. The additional
acquired aircraft was an MD-82 aircraft, which subsequently was painted
in Mahan Airways' livery and flown on multiple Mahan Airways' routes
under tail number TC-TUA.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\4\ Engaging in conduct prohibited by a denial order violates
the Regulations. 15 CFR 764.2(a) and (k).
\5\ The third Boeing 747 appeared to have undergone significant
service maintenance and may not have been operational at the time of
the March 9, 2010 Renewal Order.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The March 9, 2010 Renewal Order also noted that a court in the
United Kingdom (``U.K.'') had found Mahan Airways in contempt of court
on February 1, 2010, for failing to comply with that court's December
21, 2009 and January 12, 2010 orders compelling Mahan Airways to remove
the Boeing 747s from Iran and ground them in the Netherlands. Mahan
Airways and the Balli Group Respondents had been litigating before the
U.K. court concerning ownership and control of Aircraft 1-3. In a
letter to the U.K. court dated January 12, 2010, Mahan Airways'
Chairman indicated, inter alia, that Mahan Airways opposes U.S.
Government actions against Iran, that it continued to operate the
aircraft on its routes in and out of Tehran (and had 158,000 ``forward
bookings'' for these
[[Page 48962]]
aircraft), and that it wished to continue to do so and would pay
damages if required by that court, rather than ground the aircraft.
The September 3, 2010 Renewal Order pointed out that Mahan Airways'
violations of the TDO extended beyond operating U.S.-origin aircraft in
violation of the TDO and attempting to acquire additional U.S.-origin
aircraft. In February 2009, while subject to the TDO, Mahan Airways
participated in the export of computer motherboards, items subject to
the Regulations and designated as EAR99, from the United States to
Iran, via the UAE, in violation of both the TDO and the Regulations, by
transporting and/or forwarding the computer motherboards from the UAE
to Iran. Mahan Airways' violations were facilitated by Gatewick LLC,
which not only participated in the transaction, but also has stated to
BIS that it is Mahan Airways' sole booking agent for cargo and freight
forwarding services in the UAE.
Moreover, in a January 24, 2011 filing in the U.K. Court, Mahan
Airways asserted that Aircraft 1-3 were not being used, but stated in
pertinent part that the aircraft were being maintained in Iran
especially ``in an airworthy condition'' and that, depending on the
outcome of its U.K. Court appeal, the aircraft ``could immediately go
back into service.* * * on international routes into and out of Iran.''
Mahan Airways' January 24, 2011 submission to U.K. Court of Appeal, at
p. 25, paragraphs 108,110. This clearly stated intent, both on its own
and in conjunction with Mahan Airways' prior misconduct and statements,
demonstrated the need to renew the TDO in order to prevent imminent
future violations.
More recently, as noted in the July 1, 2011 and August 24, 2011
Orders, Mahan Airways has continued to evade U.S. export control laws
by operating two Airbus A310 aircraft \6\ bearing Mahan Airways'
livery, colors and logo on flights into and out of Iran. The aircraft
are owned, respectively, by Zarand Aviation and Kerman Aviation,
entities whose corporate registrations both list Mahan Air General
Trading as a member of their Groupement D'interet Economique
(``Economic Interest Group'').\7\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\6\ The Airbus A310s are powered with U.S.-origin engines. The
engines are subject to the EAR and classified under Export Control
Classification (``ECCN'') 9A991.d. The Airbus A310s contain
controlled U.S.-origin items valued at more than 10 percent of the
total value of the aircraft and as a result are subject to the EAR.
They are classified under ECCN 9A991.b. The reexport of these
aircraft to Iran requires U.S. Government authorization pursuant to
Section 746.7 of the Regulations.
\7\ Kerman Aviation's corporate registration also lists Mahan
Aviation Services Company as an additional member of its Economic
Interest Group.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
At the time of the July 1, 2011 and August 24, 2011 Orders, these
Airbus A310s were registered in France, with tail numbers F-OJHH and F-
OJHI, respectively. After the August 24, 2011 renewal, Mahan Airways
and Zarand Aviation worked in concert, along with Kerman Aviation, to
de-register the two Airbus A310 aircraft in France and to register both
aircraft in Iran (with, respectively, Iranian tail numbers EP-MHH and
EP-MHI).
OEE has presented evidence with its current renewal request
indicating that apparently some time after the February 15, 2012
renewal, the registration switch for these A310s was cancelled, and
that these two aircraft are flying with Mahan livery under French
registration (with tail numbers F-OJHH and F-OJHI, respectively),
instead of Iranian registration. Most significantly, OEE's evidence
indicates that both aircraft are active in Mahan Airways' fleet on
flights in and out of Iran. These violations of the TDO, including
those involving the Zarand Aviation aircraft, indicate that the
aircraft likely will continue to operate in a manner contrary to U.S.
export control laws.
OEE also has obtained and submitted new evidence that Mahan Airways
has obtained another Airbus A310 aircraft. This aircraft (Manufacturer
Serial Number 499) is listed on Mahan's Air Fleet list with the Iranian
registered tail number EP-VIP and referred to as a ``VIP Aircraft''
with a former registration number of ``1022.'' Open source information
submitted by OEE indicates that an A310 with a German Air Force
designation of 10-22 served as the German ``presidential'' aircraft,
was sold in Germany as surplus in late 2011, re-sold shortly thereafter
to what was identified as an Eastern European investment group, and
then re-sold and transported to Mahan Airways in Iran via the Ukraine.
This acquisition and reexport by and/or for Mahan Airways violated the
TDO and the Regulations. In addition, although the Mahan Air Fleet list
submitted by OEE indicates that this aircraft was parked in Tehran as
of mid-July 2012, OEE reasonably believes that additional reexport
violations are imminent in connection with this aircraft.
OEE's renewal request also includes additional evidence relating to
previously discussed efforts by related persons to procure aircraft and
aircraft parts for Mahan Airways in violation of the TDO and the
Regulations. As detailed in prior orders, Ali Eslamian was added as a
related person on August 24, 2011. Among other pertinent activities, he
formed Skyco (UK) Ltd. (``Skyco''), which buys and sells aircraft,
aircraft engines and other aviation related services, with Mahan
Airways' Managing Director (Hamid Arabnejad) and its Vice-President for
Business Development (Ghulam Redha Khodra Mahmoudi a/k/a Gholemreza
Mahmoudi), in order to carry out transactions on behalf of Mahan
Airways and acquire items that Mahan could not obtain on its own due to
the U.S. embargo against Iran.\8\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\8\ Eslamian is a Skyco shareholder and managing director. In
addition, Skyco's corporate registration lists Mr. Eslamian and Mr.
Mahmoudi as directors of Skyco. Mr. Eslamian also is listed as
Skyco's corporate secretary.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Eslamian's involvement in Mahan Airways' original conspiracy to
acquire U.S.-origin Boeing 747s that led to the initial issuance of the
TDO included inspecting the 747s and participating in the initial
meetings between Mahan and the Balli Group principals during which it
was proposed that the Balli Group or Balli entities would act as a
front for Mahan in its scheme to acquire U.S.-origin aircraft. Eslamian
has admitted longstanding business relationships and connections to
senior Mahan Airways officers and/or directors, including Mr. Arabnejad
and Mr. Mahmoudi, and has detailed insight into how Mahan Airways
maintains and repairs its aircraft through the use of facilities in
third countries.
Prior orders in this matter also discuss the evidence that Eslamian
has negotiated, including through his company Equipco (UK) Ltd.
(``Equipco''), with a Brazilian airline for the purchase of two Airbus
A-320 aircraft and one aircraft engine, all items that are subject to
the Regulations and require U.S. Government authorization for re-export
to Iran.\9\ Eslamian signed a letter of intent with the Brazilian
airline on November 20, 2009, and subsequently signed a sales and
purchase agreement for the engine in April 2010. In spite being added
to the TDO on August 24, 2011, Eslamian signed a second letter of
intent with the Brazilian airline regarding these two A-320 aircraft on
September 28, 2011, and
[[Page 48963]]
at least as recently as December 2011, his efforts to acquire both the
aircraft and the engine continued.\10\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\9\ The Airbus A320s are powered with U.S.-origin engines. The
engines are subject to the EAR and classified under ECCN 9A991.d.
The Airbus A320s contain controlled U.S.-origin items valued at more
than 10 percent of the total value of the aircraft and as a result
are subject to the EAR. They are classified as ECCN 9A991.b. The re-
export of these aircraft to Iran would require U.S. Government
authorization pursuant to Section 746.7 of the Regulations, as would
the re-export of the aircraft engine.
\10\ Equipco, which was added to the TDO by the April 9, 2012
related persons order, is owned and operated by Mr. Eslamian. In
conversations with the Brazilian Airline, Eslamian stated that the
items were being acquired on behalf of ``a very dear customer of
another company of ours, Skyco UK Ltd.''
As set forth in the April 9, 2012 order, Mahan Air General
Trading's articles of incorporation list Mahan Airways' Managing
Director, Hamid Arabnejad, as an owner. Mahan Air General Trading
also shares the same Dubai address and fax number with Sirjanco
Trading LLC, another denied party that is related to Mahan Airways
and acquires and resells aircraft parts and components. Sirjanco is
owned in part by Mr. Mahmoudi, Mahan's Vice-President for Business
Development.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
C. Findings
Under the applicable standard set forth in Section 766.24 of the
Regulations and my review of the record here, I find that the evidence
presented by BIS convincingly demonstrates that Mahan Airways has
continually violated the EAR and the TDO, that such knowing violations
have been significant, deliberate and covert, and that there is a
likelihood of future violations. Additionally, Zarand Aviation's Airbus
A310 continues to be operated on routes into and out of Iran in
violation of the Regulations and the TDO itself, and as discussed in
prior orders, Zarand Aviation has acted in concert with Mahan Airways
in an effort to evade the TDO and U.S. export control laws. Therefore,
renewal of the TDO is necessary to prevent imminent violation of the
EAR and to give notice to companies and individuals in the United
States and abroad that they should continue to cease dealing with Mahan
Airways, Zarand Aviation, and the other denied persons under the TDO in
export transactions involving items subject to the EAR. The conduct of
Mahan Airways, Zarand Aviation, and those related to them or acting in
concert with them, such as Kerman Aviation, Ali Eslamian, Skyco (UK)
Ltd. and Equipco (UK) Ltd., raise significant ongoing concerns relating
to the acquisition and use of aircraft, aircraft engines or other
parts, and aircraft services in violation of the Regulations and the
TDO.
