Silk Way West Airlines has taken delivery of its fourth Boeing 777 Freighter, which has arrived in Baku following a direct flight from Seattle.

The aircraft is part of the airline’s ongoing fleet renewal program and reflects its consistent progress in modernising its long-haul cargo fleet.

The newly delivered aircraft is the fourth of six Boeing 777 Freighters ordered by Silk Way West Airlines, reaffirming the company’s steady execution of its strategic fleet development plans.

As part of this renewal strategy, the airline has phased out two Boeing 747-400 Freighters, further optimising fleet efficiency and performance.

The delivery of the remaining two Boeing 777F is expected in 2027, which will mark the completion of the first phase of Silk Way West Airlines’ fleet renewal program.

Wolfgang Meier, President of Silk Way West Airlines, said: “The delivery of our fourth Boeing 777 Freighter demonstrates our disciplined approach to fleet renewal and our ability to deliver on long-term strategic commitments.

“By transitioning away from older aircraft and introducing next-generation freighters, we are strengthening our operational performance, supporting sustainability objectives, and laying a solid foundation for the next phase of fleet modernisation.”

The Boeing 777 Freighter is among the most advanced cargo aircraft in operation today, combining long-range capability with high payload performance and improved fuel efficiency.
