The United States Department of Justice (Washington National) has charged Ohio-based Flighttime Enterprises Inc. and three of its employees with multiple crimes related to their alleged violation of US sanctions by exporting aircraft parts to Russia.

The 11-count indictment unsealed on February 13, 2025, alleges that the company, together with Daniela Friery, Pavil Iglin, and Marat Aysin, "knowingly and willfully violated and evaded the export restrictions imposed on Russia to ship aviation parts to Russia and Russian end users" after February 2022. The indictment covers four transactions with a cumulative value exceeding USD2 million.

The charges include a count of conspiring to violate the Export Control Reform Act (ECRA), multiple counts of violating the ECRA, conspiracy to commit smuggling, multiple counts of smuggling, and a count of conspiring to launder monetary instruments. If proven, the violation of the ECRA can be punished with up to 20 years in prison, with other charges carrying shorter maximum jail time.

The indictment does not name the airlines which allegedly received the parts.
