Alexey Isaikin, president of the Volga-Dnepr Group, has been awarded Fellowship of the Royal Aeronautical Society (RAeS) in recognition of his contribution to the industry.
Martin Broadhurst, president of RAeS said: “Fellowship (FRAeS) is the highest grade attainable and is bestowed only upon those in the profession of aeronautics or aerospace who either have made an outstanding contribution to the profession, attained a position of high responsibility, or/and have had long experience of high quality in the profession.
“It is the Society’s highest grade of membership. Fellowship of the Society is highly regarded in the aerospace and aviation industry, and it is fitting that Mr Isaikin is recognised for his contribution to our industry.”
The Fellowship comes as Volga-Dnepr Group prepares to celebrate its 25th anniversary. The company was founded in August 1990.
Isaikin said: “I am proud to accept this great honour from the Royal Aeronautical Society and dedicate it to the entire team of aerospace professionals that have used their unique skills and expertise over the last 25 years to make Volga-Dnepr Group a respected and trusted partner of market leading customers in so many industry sectors all over the world.”
