The sanctions ‘tsunami’ that has the Russian aviation industry, and not only, dealing with countless new challenges and difficulties can, nevertheless, be overcome. The new legal realities arising where jurisdictions overlap have given rise to new trends and approaches. A comprehensive analysis of foreign regulations and Russian counter-sanction measures has resulted in a new approach to relations in the operation of aircraft and aircraft engines owned by foreign companies from unfriendly countries. What is the best way to effectively protect Russia’s rights and interests in disagreements with foreign leasing companies? How can we avoid lengthy and costly court proceedings? What arguments will get us to an agreement?
