Finally a new order for Boeing
Baku-based Silk Way West Airlines is expanding its international network with an order for five B777F. The deal with Boeing marks the first purchase of the long-range, high capacity twin-engine freighter in the Caspian region and Central Asia.
Zaur Akhundov, Silk Way Group president: "This deal is an incremental part of our fleet renewal. I am confident that the acquisition of new freighters will further strengthen our strong position on the global air freight market for the next 15 to 20 years."
Stan Deal, president and CEO of Boeing commercial airplanes: "With the global air freight market forecasted to grow more than 60% over the next 20 years, this new order bolsters our customer’s ability to meet trade and e-commerce demand in the CIS, Europe, the Middle East, Asia and North America."
