11 Aug 2026 Volga-Dnepr Airlines LLCFederal Court: cargo airline Volga-Dnepr remains on Canadian sanctions list CanadaBreaches of sanctions and embargoes Order

The Russian cargo airline had been added to the list of the Special Economic Measures (Russia) Regulations in April 2023; the Minister of Foreign Affairs rejected the application for delisting. The Federal Court (2026 FC 1048) dismissed the application for judicial review: the Minister had not exercised her broad discretion unreasonably, and there was no procedural error.

What organisations can take from it

Listed logistics partners often remain listed for years – anyone buying air freight must continuously screen carriers and parent companies against sanctions lists.
