MOU between Silk Way West And Nippon Express

In order to better satisfy their clients and adapt more promptly to evolving supply chains, Japan's Nippon Express Holdings and Silk Way West Airlines, based in Azerbaijan, recently signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU). With weekly flights between Baku and Kansai International airport since 2018, Silk Way West Airlines has been serving the Japanese market. The deal will enhance that presence. The airline said the agreement with Nippon would enable it to "play an increasingly important role in the region's freight network, constantly increasing the quality of air cargo transportation services for both Japanese and foreign partners" when it started regular service to Tokyo's Narita gateway in 2021. Through access to cargo space on Silk Way West Airlines' broad network, which includes destinations across Europe, the CIS, the Middle East, Central and Eastern Asia, and the Americas, the alliance will also assist Nippon Express in growing its presence globally. The Azeri carrier flies 12 Boeing 747-8 freighters, two 747-400Fs, five brand-new 777Fs, two 777-8Fs, and two Airbus A350 freighters, in addition to the five that are currently on order. The conditions of this memorandum "align perfectly with the growth strategy we are pursuing to increase our footprint in Japan, and we are hopeful that it will be beneficial for both" Silk Way West Airlines President Wolfgang Meier said, stating that 2022 marked the 30th anniversary of the formation of diplomatic relations between Japan and the Republic of Azerbaijan.
