Silk Way West Airlines has taken delivery of its third Boeing 777 Freighter at Heydar Aliyev International Airport in Baku, the latest of a 10-aircraft 777F order scheduled for completion by 2030. The addition supports the carrier’s programme to modernize and gradually replace older freighters.

Briefing
The third delivery is part of a 10-aircraft 777F programme (completion by 2030), materially increasing Silk Way West’s long‑haul heavy-lift capacity while accelerating replacement of older 747-series freighters.
New 777F handovers reinforce the market shift toward modern widebody freighters and help carriers capture long‑range, high‑payload routes; Boeing’s freighters have held a dominant share of global cargo tonne‑kilometres since 2019 (see Boeing freighters' market position).
The timing matters as OEMs progress next‑generation freighter programmes and production ramps (including Boeing’s 777‑8 freighter build), shaping competition with the A350F and future cargo fleet strategies (see 777‑8 production and A350F vs 777‑8F analysis).
