State coordination of aviation industry development in the EU and Ukraine

Abstract

Methods. The results are obtained through the application of methods such as comparative analysis, used to clarify the main content of coordination programs for medium- and long-term innovative development in the aviation industry in EU countries and Ukraine; general and specific methods, employed in characterizing the directions of strategic development programs in the aviation industry; structural-functional analysis, applied to identify features and characteristic traits of development programs in the aviation industry in EU countries. Results. The role and significance of the aviation industry in the national and global economy are characterized. It is emphasized that the aviation sector stimulates scientific research and innovation, contributing to the development of new technologies and the improvement of functional features in related industries. It is revealed that in European Union countries, the state plays a key role in the development of the aviation industry through regulation, financing, ensuring safety, fostering innovation, and developing programs that shape a comprehensive set of short-term measures, ensuring the coordinated development of the aviation industry in these countries. It is highlighted that the European aviation industry has achieved significant success in the production and operation of aircraft, air traffic management, and ensuring the highest level of safety over the past decade. The reasons for crisis phenomena in the aviation industry in Ukraine are classified. The necessity of state coordination and support for the innovative development of this industry, which is a strategic sector of the state, is substantiated. It is established that the Ukrainian aviation industry has substantial potential and can be competitive in global aviation markets, as well as meet the needs of the national economy and play a key role in the country's defense capabilities. Novelty. In the course of the research, it is found that state coordination of the aviation industry in the EU and Ukraine differs both in terms of structure and perspectives of development. It is argued that in Ukraine, to overcome the crisis situation and in the face of geopolitical challenges, it is necessary to develop short-, medium-, and long-term programs that are interconnected and ensure innovative development. Practical value. It is proposed to consider the experience of state coordination of the aviation industry in European Union countries when developing a national strategy for the innovative development of the aviation sector, taking into account modern realities and globalization challenges.
