Silk Way AirlinesAZQ/ ZP

Silk Way Airlines is a cargo-focused airline founded in 2001 and headquartered in Baku, Azerbaijan, operating as one of the primary air freight carriers in the Caucasus and Central Asian regions. The airline specializes in international cargo operations, serving major hubs across Europe, Asia, and the Middle East, with its main base at Heydar Aliyev International Airport in Baku. As a subsidiary of the Silk Way Group, a diversified Azerbaijani conglomerate, the airline has established itself as a significant player in the global cargo market, particularly for time-sensitive and specialized freight. Silk Way Airlines operates a dedicated cargo fleet and does not offer scheduled passenger services, focusing instead on charter cargo flights and regular freight routes that connect key logistics centers worldwide. The airline's strategic location at the crossroads between Europe and Asia has made it an important alternative carrier for international cargo operations, especially during periods of route disruptions or capacity constraints on traditional cargo networks.
