Silk Way West Airlines has tapped cargo.one to bring the airline’s freighter capacity to the air cargo booking marketplace.

The Baku, Azerbaijan-headquartered freighter operator said from Autumn 2023, freight forwarders can book Silk Way West capacity using cargo.one. 

The global partnership will expand Silk Way West's digital footprint — and gain market experience and support from cargo.one team to accelerate its digital sales adoption for its capacities.

“Our partnership with cargo.one is an important milestone in our ambitious digitalization journey. By bringing our capacity to cargo.one’s expansive customer base, we will both broaden our reach and enable many more forwarders to benefit from our services,”  said Wolfgang Meier, president of Silk Way West Airlines.

"cargo.one and Silk Way teams are collaborating very closely, and we are relying on their proven expertise to enhance our buying journeys and drive up our share of digital air cargo sales,” he added. 

Moritz Claussen, founder & co-CEO of cargo.one, noted that the addition of Silk Way West Airlines' capacity is “fantastic news” for the thousands of agents who are utilising digital bookings on cargo.one.

“Due to its keen awareness of the changing market, Silk Way West Airlines is now putting cargo.one, as the best-in-class digital enabler, at the centre of its digital sales growth trajectory,” Claussen added.

cargo.one has more than 40 airline partners.
