As consequências provocadas pelos conflitos armados que afetaram o modal aéreo

Abstract

The First and Second World War were episodes of great development for the means of air transport, however the causes and consequences of such evolution marked the history of the world through devastation of countries and a large death toll. Currently, the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, due to historical and strategic issues, is negatively affecting several political and economic sectors around the world. In addition, the confrontation between these nations has directly affected the airline industry, which is going through a phase of difficulties and limitations. In this sense, this research aims to report the main impacts suffered by aviation, such as the restriction of airspace and increases in operating expenses. Once, in the past, aviation reached a high level of development and now suffers setbacks in the face of the current conflict. The methodology used was descriptive, with bibliographic and documentary approaches, such as articles, documentaries and news sites. In addition, based on the study presented, it was possible to identify the main causes that triggered the two Great World Wars, as was the case with all the use of aircraft, in which at first they did not have a combat character and a while later they began to be developed as weapons. Until they became one of the main forms of attack. Furthermore, the characteristics and histories of Russia and Ukraine were verified, in order to understand the foundations that started the conflict and what measures are being taken by the numerous nations involved indirectly, and how aviation has suffered severe consequences that affect not only the economy of airlines, but also the safety of flights. Therefore, it becomes evident that the decision-making by the Heads of State, in initiating an armed conflict to obtain the resolution of political and sovereignty issues, goes against the lessons that past wars have brought, as a result of civilian and military deaths. This fact also leads the world to setback, since it puts unique models of airplanes at risk, both in terms of their infrastructure and function performance. Therefore, it appears that treaties made between countries are carried out and that there is a study of all possible implications when starting a war of such dimension and, finally, the impasses can be resolved peacefully through agreements.
