Great Wall Airlines Removed from OFAC Specially Designated Nationals List
December 2006
As of December 12, 2006, Great Wall Airlines (aka Changcheng Hangkong) was removed from OFAC’s Specially Designated Nationals list. We reported in August of this year that the airline had been added to the list for “blocking property of weapons of mass destruction proliferators and their supporters”. The parent company, Great Wall Industry Corp. (which was on the list prior to Great Wall Airlines being added) had been suspected of providing assistance to the missile program in Iran. The US decided to act against the airline for this reason. Great Wall Airlines Company reportedly suspended operations three days after being added to the list.
