Tracing Flights II: Myanmar Witness investigation tracks two additional aircraft in possible violation of EU Sanctions

A new Le Monde documentary draws on Myanmar Witness’s investigation into the delivery of Czech-manufactured Let L410-UVP E20 Turbolets to Myanmar.

In September 2025, Myanmar Witness tracked three Let L410-UVP E20 Turbolet aircraft, manufactured by the Czech company Aircraft Industries, delivered to Myanmar and later commissioned into its air force. 

Since then, the investigative team has documented new evidence confirming the arrival of two additional Czech-made Let L410 aircraft arriving in Myanmar, the latest landing on 25 February 2026.

Meanwhile, the Czech government has publicly claimed that the aircraft were supplied to Myanmar Airways International (MAI) for civilian use; however, Myanmar Witness’s evidence and analysis dispute this. Myanmar Witness has documented a 12-year trend of aircraft delivered to civilian operators such as MAI, then being commissioned into the Myanmar Air Force (MAF).
