At a ceremony recently held in Everett, Washington (USA), Azerbaijani cargo carrier Silk Way West Airlines signed an order with Boeing for two state-of-the-art 777-8 freighters with options for two additional aircraft. Under the agreement, aircraft deliveries are planned for 2029 and 2030.

 

“We are pleased to announce this order with our longstanding partner Boeing and become one of the world’s first customers for the newest freighter,” said Zaur Akhundov (right), Silk Way group president.

 

“With sustained demand for air cargo tied to expanding e-commerce and air freight’s speed and reliability, Boeing expects the global freighter fleet to increase by 60% through 2041,” said Stan Deal (left), president and CEO of Boeing commercial airplanes. (cj)
