Silk Way West Airlines, the leading cargo airline in the Caspian and Central Asian region, has expanded its commitment to a modern and eco-friendly fleet by amending its contract with Boeing to purchase an additional Boeing 777 Freighter, scheduled for delivery in 2025. This amendment is an extension to the original agreement signed in April 2021, and further demonstrates Silk Way West Airlines' commitment to sustainability in the air cargo industry.
