Denmark’s OECD National Contact Point has found that Nordic Aviation Capital (NAC) did not meet OECD expectations on human rights due diligence in Myanmar.

The National Contact Point is a Danish state-backed grievance body under the OECD Guidelines. It reviews complaints about multinational companies’ responsible business conduct.

In its conclusion, the body said NAC did not do adequate risk-based checks on its Myanmar business partners. It also said NAC did not sufficiently prevent or limit potential human rights harms linked to Air KBZ.

Justice For Myanmar filed the complaint in June 2024. The group alleged that several ATR aircraft linked to NAC later came into Myanmar Air Force use, which has been alleged to carry out attacks on civilians.

NAC was acquired by Dubai Aerospace Enterprise in May 2025, according to the complaint text. Justice For Myanmar also said the review was limited by a five-year rule.
