    AZERBAIJAN's Silk Way West Airlines' first Boeing 777 Freighter has arrived as the carrier becomes the newest operator of the world's longest range twin-engine freighter, reports the American Journal of Transportation.

    The 777 Freighter will enable Silk Way West to increase its capacity to meet growing cargo demand around the globe.

    "Delivery of this aircraft marks a defining moment in our strategic plan to make Silk Way West Airlines greener, more fuel efficient, and better positioned for growth," said Silk Way West vice president Fadi Nahas.

    Designed to integrate smoothly with existing cargo operations, the 777 Freighter will provide Azerbaijan-based Silk Way West with enhanced efficiency and operational flexibility.

    With a range of 9,200 kilometres, the 777 Freighter can carry a maximum structural payload of 107,000 kilogrammes, allowing operators to make fewer stops and reduce landing fees on long-haul routes.

    The airplane's large fuselage diameter allows carriers to transport tall and outsized cargo loads on three-metre tall pallets, and its main deck side cargo door is 3.72 metres wide, allowing convenient loading of taller and wider cargo.
