Basically there was a consistent process of integration of domestic aviation into international aviation organizations, the standards and recommended practices of ICAO were being more actively implemented, and air transportation was growing. Innovations in aviation and industrial infrastructure were applied, attention was focused on the problems of aviation safety and flight safety, scientific and technical developments; measures were taken to solve global problems, such as improving the level of environmental friendliness of aviation transport, the quality of training of aviation specialists and the like.
