On Nov 7th 2021 South Sudan's Civil Aviation Authority issued an order immediately revoking the AOPs (Air Operator Permits) for Antonov AN-24, AN-26, AN-28, AN-30, Hawker HS-748 and Let-410UVP aircraft instructing operators to return their aircraft to the state of registry within 7 days. Excepted will be Antonov Aircraft operated by the United Nations as well as two AN-26 used by South Sudan's Military provided they change to military registrations (if they continue under civil registration, they'll also be banned from operation in South Sudan)
