Abstract

The paper considers the development and implementation of measures to counteract the sanctions imposed on the Russian aviation industry in 2022.Based on the assumption that international restrictions are not unique in the history of world aviation, the paper analyzes the experience of Iran, which has worked and developed for forty years in these conditions. A comparison of the pre-sanctions characteristics of Russia and Iran made it possible to identify key risks that are symmetrical for the two markets. They were the target of a package of international restrictions. Such similarities create an opportunity for the implementation of measures in Russia, taking into account contextual characteristics. The result is a set of anti-sanctions measures in different time horizons in the areas of route network configuration, air fleet management and the development of the aviation industry.
