Silk Way West Airlines welcomes third Boeing 777 Freighter to Baku

Silk Way West Airlines is proud to announce the arrival of its third Boeing 777 Freighter at Heydar Aliyev International Airport (GYD), marking another milestone in the airline’s strategic fleet renewal program. The aircraft landed in Baku directly from Boeing’s facilities in Seattle, joining the carrier’s growing roster of next-generation freighters.

This delivery is part of Silk Way West Airlines’ order for 10 Boeing 777F aircraft, to be fulfilled by 2030. The new freighters will gradually replace older aircraft in the fleet, significantly enhancing operational efficiency and reducing environmental impact. This step aligns with the company’s ongoing efforts to meet its environmental goals, including reducing carbon emissions and improving fuel efficiency across its operations.

"The arrival of our third Boeing 777F represents another important step in our long-term growth strategy," said Wolfgang Meier, President of Silk Way West Airlines. "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."

Founded in 2012 in Baku, at the heart of the Silk Road, Silk Way West Airlines operates hundreds of flights each month 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 tons of cargo annually. The carrier expects the delivery of two Boeing 777F, two Boeing 777-8F, and two Airbus A350F aircraft by 2030, further reinforcing its sustainability and modernization agenda.
