Berlin, Germany – A Hawker 800XP business jet has been stranded at Berlin's Brandenburg Airport (BER) for several years, as part of a larger group of Russian-owned aircraft that remain grounded due to EU sanctions imposed since February 2022 in response to Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

The Hawker 800XP, along with other business jets and large cargo planes, is among the Russian aircraft that have been immobilized at various German airports, including Leipzig, Cologne-Bonn, Frankfurt-Hahn, and Berlin. While the specific lists of stranded jets vary, the Hawker 800XP is known to be one of the business jets caught in this freeze.

The situation has persisted for more than three years, with the Russian aircraft unable to fly out or be returned to Russia. The German government has maintained the EU decree banning these aircraft movements as part of the sanctions regime, and no public plans have been announced to repatriate or release these stranded aircraft while sanctions remain in place.

Some aircraft under financial or leasing disputes have occasionally been allowed limited movements when fees are settled, as was the case with a Russian-operated Airbus A320 in Munich in 2022. However, such exceptions are rare and constrained by diplomatic and legal complexities.

The Hawker 800XP jet at BER Airport incurs costs for parking, but the specific cost is not publicly disclosed. It is also unclear how long the Hawker 800XP has been grounded at BER, as the relevant authorities to whom questions about the Hawker 800XP's grounding duration are referred are not identified in the text.

Despite the uncertainties surrounding the Hawker 800XP at BER, the ongoing aircraft immobilization is part of wider aviation and geopolitical impacts from the Russia-Ukraine conflict. The future of the Russian aircraft at other German airports, including large cargo planes, remains unclear.
