Alexey Rogozin appointed UAC’s Vice-President for Transport Aviation

Alexey Rogozin was appointed Vice-President for Transport Aviation of the United Aircraft Corporation (UAC) on March 14, 2017.

He will form the transport division, consolidate key management functions at the corporate headquarters level and build a unified management system for transport aviation programs.
