SILK WAY WEST AIRLINES LAUNCHES FIRST BOEING 777F COMMERCIAL FLIGHT TO ISTANBUL

Silk Way West Airlines has announced the first commercial flight to Istanbul by its newly delivered Boeing 777F aircraft.

 

 

The Caspian and Central Asian cargo airline noted that the Boeing 777F is the world's largest twin-engine and most efficient and environmentally friendly freighter on the market.

 

"This addition to the Silk Way West Airlines fleet will contribute to the airline's sustainability goals and ensure its commitment to reducing emissions," the carrier said.

 

It added that the new aircraft will replace the Boeing 747-400F that previously operated the Baku-Istanbul route, delivering a range of general cargo.

 

Silk Way West Airlines said utilising the aircraft strengthens its position in the global air cargo market. The expansion also marks a further step in Silk Way West Airlines' efforts to expand its international network to meet the increasing demand for cargo transportation.

 

"We are immensely proud to witness this momentous occasion as our new aircraft, the Boeing 777F, stretches its wings for the first time," said Vugar Mammadov, vice president of Silk Way West Airlines.

 

"This marks the beginning of an exciting chapter for our airline as we continue to uphold the highest standards of safety and reliability while embracing the evolving landscape of cargo transportation. I am confident that our fleet renewal and expansion will further strengthen the company's leading position in the global airfreight market for the next 15-20 years," he added.
