Bukovyna Airlines, also known as Bukovyna Aviation Enterprise, is a charter airline based in Chernivtsi, Ukraine, operating chartered passenger flights out of Chernivtsi International Airport. The company was founded in 1999. In 2013 Bukovyna was one of two Ukrainian airlines that had sanctions imposed against them by the US government. Bukovyna Airlines was hit with sanctions because it was leasing its US-built McDonnell Douglas MD-80 series aircraft to Iranian airlines Mahan Air and Iran Air. The Iranian airlines were themselves under sanction by the US government.
