"Silk Way West Airlines, the leading cargo airline in the Caspian and Central Asian region, is proud to announce the first commercial flight to Istanbul by a newly delivered Boeing 777F aircraft. The Boeing 777F is the world’s largest twin-engine and most efficient and environmentally friendly freighter.

The expansion marks a further step in Silk Way West Airlines' efforts to expand its international network to meet the increasing demand for cargo transportation.

"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."
