Russia fines Korean Air hefty

Jan Gruber July 31, 2023 08:37

The airline Korean Air has been sentenced by a Russian court to pay a fine of around 46 million US dollars. The carrier is accused of alleged failures in connection with customs clearance. The incident occurred in early 2021. Specifically, the cargo flight KE529 is said to have left Moscow Sheremetyevo Airport in February 2021 without a so-called seal from the Russian customs authorities. The carrier vehemently contradicts this and explains that it had obtained this before departure and presented all the necessary documents to customs. But the authorities were not interested in this, as they initially imposed a fine of 87 million US dollars. Korean Air was particularly unhappy with the amount of the fine and took it to court. Although all documents, including the originals of the disputed seals, were presented, the fine was not lifted, but merely reduced. In South Korea, some media are speculating that political and financial interests could be behind this. Russia considers this country to be a so-called "unfriendly state". As a result, Korean Air - just like all other South Korean carriers - is banned. This means that the likelihood that a plane from the airline in question will land on Russian territory in the near future is almost zero. It is still completely unclear whether and how Korean Air will pay the fine, which could also potentially serve to improve the Russian state budget. Enforcement will probably be extremely difficult for the government of the Russian Federation.
