Silk Way West Airlines and Azerpost signed a memorandum of cooperation to improve postal and e-logistics

A signing ceremony of a memorandum of cooperation between Silk Way West Airlines, one of the leading cargo carriers in the region, and Azerpost LLC, Azerbaijan's national postal operator, was held at the Silk Way Group headquarters. The document aims to strengthen partnership in postal logistics, air transportation, and e-commerce.

The agreement establishes a strategic framework for cooperation in areas such as international and domestic cargo deliveries, mail sorting, warehousing, and logistics optimization. By combining expertise and infrastructure, both parties aim to increase the efficiency of postal and cargo flows both within Azerbaijan and beyond its borders.

According to the memorandum, Azerpost will use Silk Way West Airlines' global network to transport international e-commerce parcels and postal shipments to Baku and other destinations. In turn, Silk Way West Airlines will have the opportunity to increase transportation volumes, while Azerpost will provide sorting, processing, and delivery of parcels throughout Azerbaijan.

The cooperation will also open new opportunities within the Alat Free Economic Zone, where the parties plan to jointly develop logistics solutions and advanced distribution models. As part of the first phase, a fully automated e-commerce terminal with an area of 12,000 square meters will be created to process all postal shipments and e-commerce parcels, laying the foundation for large-scale regional logistics operations.

Vugar Mamedov, Vice President of Silk Way West Airlines, noted: "This partnership marks an important step in the development of Azerbaijan's postal and logistics infrastructure. By joining forces with Azerpost, we will expand capabilities in e-commerce and contribute to the development of the Alat Free Economic Zone as a key hub for regional and global cargo flows."

In turn, Isi Mustafayev, Acting Chairman of Azerpost stated: "Our cooperation with Silk Way West Airlines will significantly improve the efficiency and speed of international postal operations, providing customers in Azerbaijan and abroad with faster and more reliable delivery services."

In the future, Silk Way West Airlines and Azerpost will continue to strengthen their partnership through the implementation of digital, operational, and infrastructure projects, supporting Azerbaijan's aspiration to become a central logistics hub between East and West.
