British transport minister Grant Shapps said on Saturday he has prevented the use of another private jet that has links to Russian oligarchs.
We won’t stand by and watch those who’ve made millions through (Russian President Vladimir) Putin’s patronagelive their lives in peace as innocent blood is shed,” Shapps said on Twitter.
The Department for Transport (DfT) said it has issued a Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) to prevent the aircraft from taking off from London Luton Airport.
The aircraft will remain at the airport while officials investigate further whether it falls under the recent sanctions legislation banning all aircraft connected with Russia, following its invasion of Ukraine.
