With Much Appreciation and Sadness – Air Cargo Industry Has Lost Air Cargo Veteran Ron King
It is with great regret Volga-Dnepr has to report that Ron King, one of the air cargo veterans in the USA, has suddenly passed away on July 19th, 2019. He would have turned 77 on July, 22nd and has certainly left an immense imprint on the air cargo sector in the USA in general and on Volga-Dnepr’s development in particular.
With almost a 50-year experience in logistics, Ron King has contributed to successful implementation of various transport projects, being eager to share his professionalism, extensive experience in logistics and in-depth market knowledge. Throughout his career path he held multiple executive positions in Curtis Air Services, Transamerica Airlines, and World Airways.
He joined Volga-Dnepr in 2001 as a Commercial Director in the USA and during almost 14 years was building the image of Volga-Dnepr in the USA, gaining new projects, attracting new customers, strengthening Volga-Dnepr’s market position and sharing his tremendous knowledge with colleagues.
“During his time with Volga-Dnepr, not only has he reinforced the company’s position, but has also been a tutor to the whole team members who engrossed his knowledge, experience and personal approach to business development. Ron King will be sadly missed as he was a true personality who possessed the unique knowledge of air freight. His contribution will always be highly appreciated” – commented Konstantin Vekshin, executive president of Charter Cargo Operation at Volga-Dnepr.
Our sincere condolences go to his family, closest friends and colleagues.
