Controversies
[ edit ]
Emtrasur owned a Boeing 747-300M (YV3531, msn 23413) that previously belonged to Iranian airline Mahan Air , a company that American assistant secretary of export enforcement at the Department of Commerce, Matthew S. Axelrod, alleges has connections to Hezbollah .[1]
On June 8, 2022, the Boeing 747 arrived in Argentina , after a flight originating in Mexico with a stop-over in Venezuela. Two days later, it took off for Uruguay but was denied entry into Uruguayan airspace and returned to Argentina, landing back at Ezeiza International Airport in Buenos Aires .[2] [3]
On February 11, 2024 the plane was transferred to the United States Department of Justice . The next day, the Argentine government allowed it to be flown to the United States where it landed at Dade-Collier Training and Transition Airport as TYSON23.[4] [5] [6]
In response to the seizure of the aircraft, Venezuela closed its airspace to all Argentine-registered, Argentina-bound and outbound aircraft. Venezuelan Minister of Foreign Affairs Yván Gil described the seizure as a 'criminal act' of 'piracy and theft', calling the Argentine Government 'neo-Nazi'.[7]
The United States Department of Justice declared that the airplane would be "prepared for disposition" without elaborating on plans for the jet.[8] [9] [10] [11]
