Silk Way West expands in the Middle East and Central Asia
Baku-based freighter operator Silk Way West Airlines has expanded its scheduled network in the Middle East and Central Asia with two scheduled freighter flights a week between Baku Heydar Aliyev International Airport and Dammam King Fahd International Airport and Tashkent International Airport.
Silk Way West has until recently served both destinations through charter services, shipping general cargo including textiles, cars, perishables and other goods.
Silk Way West vice president CIS and Central Asia Vugar Mammadov said: “The demand for transportation to the Middle East and on the Middle Corridor route continues to rise. As a result, Azerbaijan is gaining increasing importance as a central logistics hub.
“We will continue to increase the number of flights we operate, as well as the destinations we serve."
The carrier has a fleet of 12 Boeing 747-8F and 747-400F aircraft and has five B777 freighters, two B777-8Fs and two A350Fs on order.
