About this designation
Yv1003 appears on the US Treasury Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) Specially Designated Nationals (SDN) List under the Venezuela — EO 13884 (Government of Venezuela block) program. US persons and entities are prohibited from engaging in transactions with this aircraft, and any property or interests in property within US jurisdiction must be blocked and reported to OFAC.
Why this designation matters
Yv1003 falls within the economic and financial sector of Venezuela's sanctions landscape. This sector encompasses PDVSA and its subsidiaries, the Central Bank of Venezuela (BCV), state mining operations, and the financial intermediaries that facilitate transactions for the Maduro government's oil, gold, and sovereign debt operations. Executive Order 13884, signed in 2019, blocks all property and interests in property of the Government of Venezuela that are within US jurisdiction. It is the broadest Venezuela sanctions instrument, covering any entity in which the Government of Venezuela owns a 50% or greater interest. OFAC's listing explicitly links Yv1003 to CONSORCIO VENEZOLANO DE INDUSTRIAS AERONAUTICAS Y SERVICIOS AEREOS, S.A, indicating a documented relationship of ownership, control, or beneficial interest. As a designated aircraft, Yv1003 is blocked property under US sanctions law. Aviation service providers, lessors, and insurers under US jurisdiction are prohibited from servicing this aircraft, and the designation restricts its operational capacity.
