Legal Aspects of Aviation: Tools to Regulate Transport Infrastructure and Aircraft Fleets while Counteracting Sanctions Restrictions

Pavilion F, conference hall F2
The Russian aviation industry is facing unprecedented sanctions from unfriendly states. Almost all foreign-made aircraft engaged in aviation operations faced the threat of all flights being terminated. Nevertheless, the unconventional decisions of the Russian authorities, combined with the high level of professionalism of aviation industry officials, made it possible to ensure the efficient operation of the foreign aircraft fleet by Russian airlines and prevent a critical drop in revenue, as well as a decrease in passenger traffic. What specific legal instruments were used to support the transport system and ensure the normal operation of the civil aviation fleet amidst unprecedented pressure from unfriendly states? Does the legal status of aircraft need to be amended in Russian law? Are new legal structures needed for the efficient operation of aircraft (wet leasing)? The optimal use of personnel is one of the main challenges for businesses in industries that are dependent on the changing seasons. Are there any ways to temporarily expand staffing at present? Which methods require more detailed regulation? How can fixed-term employment contracts be concluded with minimal risks for employers? How is the ability to temporarily use the personnel of another company regulated at the legislative level? What needs to be done to use outstaffing within a certain industry and/or group of companies?
