The qualitative composition of personnel by category and gender was studied. An assessment of the dynamics of the number and structure of flights served by the State Enterprise of the Air Traffic Service of Ukraine is provided. The dynamics of the number of flights was formalized, it was established that for all their types it is described by a polynomial function – a parabola with upward branches with a high value of the multiple coefficient of determination. It is shown that the sharp reduction in the number of flights in 2020 violated the established patterns, with the exception of transit transportation, the dynamics of which is described by a killing power function due to the largest reduction in transportation volumes compared to other types.
