The organising committee of the ‘Wings of Business’ National Award for the highest achievements in the field of business aviation has announced the call for applications for 2016 awards.

The ‘Wings of Business’ Award will be presented in 13 nominations covering all business areas in business aviation industry. Both Russian and foreign companies have an opportunity to announce the successful projects and win the prestigious crystal statuette. Six nominations, including “Foreign Business Aviation Airline”, “Aircraft Manufacturer”, “MRO Provider”, “Project of the Year” are open for international companies to participate. The board of Russian United Business Aviation Association (RUBAA) will introduce nominees for “The Company – Legend” and “The Person – Legend” categories.

In the application form, companies may indicate not only standard data and performance results but also additional information highlighting the most outstanding achievements and projects implemented in 2016. The ‘Wings of Business’ Award winners will be selected by independent online voting available at www.wingsaward.ru from November 1, 2016, as well as by RUBAA board member votes.

Registration for applicants is open until January 31, 2017, but companies registered before the beginning of online voting have a chance of getting more votes from industry professionals.

The ‘Wings of Business’ award ceremony will be held at the Moscow Golf Club on February 17, 2017. Only tickets and invitations will be valid for entry. Tables are limited for the gala dinner. Tickets sale is now open and there are fewer available tables now.

“The ‘Wings of Business’ Award is one of the most anticipated events of the industry. Russia hosts several events commemorating achievements of aviation industry; however, business aviation has not been in the focus. Nevertheless, business aviation has come a long way over the last decade, turning into one of the most promising sectors of the Russian aviation industry. We have much to be proud of, and I am confident that the ‘Wings of Business’ Award will give a professional and objective assessment of companies performance in our sector”, said Mikhail Titov, vice president of the RUBAA.

Award rules, list of nominations, application forms as well as tickets for the awards ceremony are available at www.wingsaward.ru.

The ‘Wings of Business’ Award was established by the Russian United Business Aviation Association (RUBAA). Bizav Systems LLC lead by Mikhail Titov acts as a producer of the award ceremony.
