FLEET - Silk Way West continues fleet expansion with latest 777 freighter

Silk Way West Airlines has taken delivery of a second Boeing 777 freighter as it looks to capitalise on growing demand.
The freighter is the second of an order for five production 777Fs made by the cargo airline in April 2021.
The first was delivered in October and the remaining three are due to be delivered gradually until 2027.

Following delivery of the freighter, the carrier now operates two 777Fs, five 747-8Fs and seven 747-400Fs based at Heydar Aliyev International Airport.
The carrier has also ordered two 777-8Fs and two A350Fs.

The Baku-based airline’s annual cargo turnover exceeds 500,000 tons, and its network covers over 40 destinations across Europe, the CIS, the Middle East, Central and Eastern Asia, and the Americas.
In line with its fleet expansion, the carrier is also planning to build a new cargo airport in Azerbaijan.
