Venezuelan Government flight inbound Havana, Cuba.

ICAO = 0D8373

Conviasa airlines, the airline that provided this aircraft to the Venezuelan government, was sanctioned by the Trump-administration in early 2020.

Then-Treasury Secretary, Steve Mnuchin, said at the time, "The illegitimate Maduro regime relies on the Venezuelan state-owned airline CONVIASA to shuttle corrupt regime officials around the world to fuel support for its anti-democratic efforts."

The Treasury Dept statement says that the Venezuelan government has commandeered CONVIASA's aircraft to "promote its own political agenda," including sending regime officials to countries like North Korea, **CUBA**, and Iran.

I've done a little more digging, appears this specific aircraft is actually one of the many aircraft blocked by the United States.
