Transaction Execution for Aircraft Delivery Under Sanctions

Oksana Alexandrovna Karpachyova successfully managed a complex aircraft purchase and delivery transaction under the current sanctions. The project was divided into several key stages, allowing for efficient supply chain management and full compliance with aviation law. The transaction included the following phases:

  • Engines – procurement, documentation, and delivery of aircraft engines.
  • Landing Gearlegal support for the supply and installation of the landing gear.
  • Airframe – organization of the transfer and registration of the aircraft’s main structure (airframe).

Upon the successful completion of each phase, the aircraft was assembled and delivered to the Russian Federation for final registration.

The project spanned three jurisdictions, each with its own legal framework and regulatory requirements:

  • UAE – transaction support and agreement negotiation.
  • Azerbaijan – transit and logistics coordination.
  • Russia – aircraft registration within the Russian Federation and compliance with national aviation law.

Oksana Alexandrovna Karpachyova provided comprehensive legal support at all stages of the transaction, including negotiations with international partners and regulatory authorities across different countries. Given the challenges posed by sanctions, the deal required meticulous legal oversight and risk minimization for all parties involved.

Thanks to her expertise and professionalism, the transaction was successfully completed, ensuring the safe and timely delivery of the aircraft to the client. The legal support provided by Themis Law Firm ensured full compliance with international and national aviation law, guaranteeing transparency and legitimacy throughout the process.
