Abstract

Aviation sanctions have emerged as a pivotal concern for the sustainability of the aviation industry. Although extensive research has been done on the economic impact of aviation sanctions, there is a noticeable gap in the literature regarding the factors that precipitate such sanctions. Consequently, this study represents a significant contribution to aviation sector research by elucidating the key factors leading to sanctions. The research adheres to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) review method, ensuring a rigorous and systematic approach. In this study, a meticulous selection process was employed, utilizing prominent databases such as Scopus and Web of Science, alongside supplementary databases including Science Direct and SAGE. Through a systematic analysis of these databases, a total of 21 relevant studies were identified. The review's findings revealed five overarching themes: safety, environment, terrorist attacks, political conflicts, and disease outbreaks. Furthermore, this research concludes by offering recommendations for future scholars. These recommendations serve as a valuable resource for further exploration and study in the field.
