The article considers the roadmap method as one of the most effective tools for the implementation of strategic planning in the field of innovative development of sectors of the national economy. Today certainly, the transport sector occupies a special place in the rapid and comprehensive development of the country's economy. This sector covers activities in the field of production, distribution, and consumption of goods (services) and plays an undeniable role in all areas of economic activity. The expansion of economic ties between the countries of the world and the acceleration of integration processes have confirmed that the transport system is one of the main pillars of the national economy of each country. Specifying the socio-economic nature of transport services, researchers have long proved that this system is an important condition for large-scale reproduction. In this regard, in the current conditions of large-scale radical reforms in the economy, it is very important to formulate and implement a policy that takes into account the specifics of transport, and its role in economic and social processes. Therefore, for the sustainable development of the transport system, large-scale capital investments, the construction, and reconstruction of a large number of large transport hubs are required. The author presents the scheme and stages of development of an industry roadmap for air transport in Azerbaijan. The study also carried out a STEEP analysis of the main factors of development, problems, and trends in the field of air transport and proposed a diagram of the relationship between them.
