Silk Way West to Take Delivery of First A350F and B777‑8F Freighters in 2028

Silk Way West Airlines has confirmed plans to take delivery of its first Airbus A350F and Boeing 777‑8F freighter aircraft in 2028, marking a major milestone in the carrier’s long‑term fleet expansion strategy.

The addition of the next‑generation widebody freighters is expected to significantly enhance the airline’s cargo capacity, fuel efficiency and operational range. Both aircraft types are designed to support long‑haul freight operations while offering lower emissions and improved payload capabilities compared to older‑generation freighters.

The Airbus A350F is positioned as a highly efficient cargo aircraft, featuring advanced aerodynamics and modern materials to reduce operating costs. Meanwhile, the Boeing 777‑8F is set to become one of the world’s largest and most capable twin‑engine freighters, offering strong performance on high‑demand global cargo routes.

By planning deliveries from 2028, Silk Way West is aligning its fleet renewal with the future growth of global air cargo demand. The move underlines the airline’s ambition to strengthen its position in the international freight market while modernising its fleet to meet evolving sustainability and performance standards.
