Silk Way West Airlines is ready for medical cargo

As the COVID-19 vaccination process gets underway around the world, the issue of logistics has become crucial.

According to IATA director general and CEO Alexandre de Juniac, “Safely delivering COVID-19 vaccines will be the mission of the century for the global air cargo industry”.

In light of the importance and magnitude of the challenge for the air transportation industry, Silk Way West Airlines has prepared thoroughly in recent months and now confidently declares its readiness to take a leading role in the “Mission of the Century”. 

Silk Way West Airlines has already operated more than 100 charter flights to deliver a range of medical supplies during the pandemic, and has now signed a number of ambitious contracts in preparation for the delivery of temperature-sensitive cargo. To ensure delivery of our life-saving freight, supplies are safely delivered to specially equipped warehouses, and are handled by personnel specifically trained for these unique conditions.

group of experts led by Silk Way West Airlines vice president global cargo logistics, Aydin Huseynov developed and implemented a plan to optimise all operational processes and introduce the latest logistics technologies for this undertaking, while the modernisation of the 1500 sq m cargo terminal at the Heydar Aliyev International Airport in Baku was also organised. In preparation for the upcoming increase in the volume of temperature-sensitive cargo to be delivered, the refrigeration and freezer warehouse area was inspected and upgraded.

 “We hope that the promptness of the delivery of the COVID-19 vaccines will contribute to the early return to a normal daily life for people all over the world,” said Aydin Huseynov.
