Regrettably... air units are not subject to the doctrine constraints that are usable for undersea and to a less extent, surface units. Even worse, some air launched weapons even ignore some database constraints.
What this means is that virtual all air behavior is hard-coded in the NavalSimEngine, meaning that it is out of reach for us modders.
My best advice is for the mission designers to take care to make their air units work properly using scriping and triggers, as this is basically all that we can do to make them work in missions.
