He has been a member of the TIACA Board since 2011 and is the Chairman of the Industry Affairs Committee, as well as a member of the Global Air Cargo Advisory Group (GACAG) and the International Air Transport Association (IATA) Industry Affairs Committee.

Before joining Volga-Dnepr in 2008, Zubkov spent over 20 years with ICAO, where he was Director of Air Transport Bureau and later Director of Planning and Global Coordination.

He worked for ten years with Aeroflot, and began his career at Moscow Sheremetyevo Airport. He has a Master’s degree in Air Transport Management from the Civil Aviation Academy of Leningrad.

He has led working groups focusing on the introduction of a paperless environment for cargo transportation in both Russia and the Asia Pacific region, and has helped with the development and implementation of projects globally involving communications, navigation, surveillance and air traffic management (CNS/ATM) satellite-based technology.
