Central Asian all-cargo carrier Silk Way West Airlines has started a scheduled route between its hub in Baku, Azerbaijan and Los Angeles
It says that the addition of the California hub – one of the world’s largest gateways – will cater for a wide range of general cargo, perishables, oversized and e-commerce goods.
The new route complements Silk Way West Airlines’ flights to Houston, launched in April, as well as the previously established regular flights to Chicago and Dallas.
Silk Way West vice president Americas, Fadi Nahas, commented: “The new route will greatly benefit our West Coast customers by providing freighter nose cargo load capacity and shorter transit times for US destinations west of the Continental Divide.”
