Silk Way West Airlines, the leading cargo airline in the Caspian and Central Asian region, has taken delivery of its third Boeing 777 Freighter, marking another milestone in the airline’s strategic fleet renewal programme.

The aircraft landed at Baku’s Heydar Aliyev International Airport (GYD) directly from Boeing’s facilities in Seattle, joining the carrier’s growing roster of next-generation freighters.

The delivery is part of Silk Way West Airlines’ order for 10 777Fs to be fulfilled by 2030.

The new freighters will gradually replace older aircraft in the fleet, significantly enhancing operational efficiency and reducing environmental impact.

Wolfgang Meier, president of Silk Way West Airlines, said: “By expanding our fleet with modern, fuel-efficient aircraft, we are not only enhancing our global service offering but also reinforcing our commitment to environmental responsibility. This investment supports both our customers’ evolving needs and our vision for sustainable growth in the years ahead.”

Silk Way West Airlines operates flights to over 40 destinations worldwide. The airline’s current fleet includes Boeing 777F, 747-8F, and 747-400F aircraft, enabling it to carry more than 500,000 tonnes of cargo annually.

The carrier expects the delivery of two 777Fs, two 777-8Fs, and two Airbus A350Fs by 2030.
