Silk Way West Airlines has added a twice-weekly flight between Baku and Liege from the end of April 2018.

“The aim is to further knit our European network by adding more destinations and maintaining a denser schedule in order to offer our customers the highest flexibility,” said Wolfgang Meier, president and CEO of Silk Way West Airlines.

Separately, the Azerbaijani carrier has added one more Boeing 747-400F to its fleet of more than 10 747 freighters. Another one is due to join the fleet in June 2018.

“The two long-expected additional aircraft will further support the growth of the network by enhancing the options to make existing Silk Way West Airlines routes denser and add as well new destinations to its global network of more than 45 destinations,” said Meier.​

Silk Way West recently relaunched operations at Budapest Airport and now operates a network of more than 45 destinations along the ancient Silk Road from its hub in Baku.
