More Aerospace Businesses Alter Relationships With Russia

Dozens of aviation-related companies have either scaled back or ceased operations there in light of attack on Ukraine.

Since Russia’s attack on Ukraine, more than 400 companies have pulled back from Russia, changing their relationships to comply with sanctions, or in solidarity with Ukraine. 

As the conflict escalates, the actions companies have taken seem to fall into five categories. The Yale School of Management has masterfully tracked all company actions and has separated them based on the magnitude of their responses:

  • Complete withdrawal
  • Temporary suspension
  • Reducing activity
  • Paused future developments
  • Companies who plan to stay

We’ve paired down the list to highlight the aviation companies taking aviation, as well as some of these companies whose business operations participate in the aviation industry indirectly, only providing auxiliary—but still critical—support. 

Apart from the companies we mentioned before, here are the latest moves:
