The Boeing 747 aircraft was seized from the Russian oligarch Alexei Isaikin as part of the sanctions imposed on him due to the Russian military aggression against Ukraine.
The Boeing 747 aircraft, previously owned by Russian businessman and millionaire with Cypriot citizenship Alexei Isaikin, was sold and has been in Germany for a year now. Bild writes about it.
It is reported that on March 10 last year, the plane arrived from Chicago at the German Hahn Airport. Almost immediately after landing, the plane was arrested in connection with the sanctions restrictions imposed against the Russian Federation due to the unleashing of a full-scale war in Ukraine.
At that time, the Boeing 747 was owned by UK-registered Cargologicair, part of the Russian corporation Volga-Dnepr, which was owned by Russian oligarch Isaikin.

In the summer of the same year, Isaikin, who was under British sanctions, withdrew from the beneficiaries of all Russian and foreign structures of the Volga-Dnepr corporation. Cargologicair filed for bankruptcy and the aircraft was sold.
The authors of the publication note that the name of the new owner of the Boeing 747 was not disclosed. It is only known that he is forced to pay 1,200 euros a day to Hahn Airport for parking his aircraft.
Recall that on March 8, a US court allowed the arrest of an American-made Boeing 737-7JU aircraft owned by the Russian oil company Rosneft for violating sanctions. According to journalists, the cost of the board reaches 25 million dollars.
In March last year, an An-124 Ruslan transport aircraft owned by the Volga-Dnepr cargo airline was seized in Canada. At the moment when the plane was flying from China and arrived at Toronto airport with a load of tests for COVID-19, Canada joined the international sanctions against the Russian Federation.
In June 2022, another Russian aircraft was arrested in Sri Lanka. We are talking about the Airbus A330, owned by Aeroflot. This decision was taken by the local authorities after a complaint from the Irish company Celestial Aviation Trading Limited.
