The memorandum establishes a framework for strategic cooperation in international and domestic cargo transportation, mail sorting, warehousing services, and logistics optimization. By combining their expertise and infrastructure, both parties aim to improve the efficiency of postal and cargo flows domestically and internationally.

Under the agreement, Azerspost will utilize Silk Way West Airlines’ global flight network for the transportation of international mail and e-commerce parcels to Baku and other destinations.

In the initial phase, a fully automated e-commerce terminal spanning 12,000 square meters will be established to process all mail and e-commerce parcels, forming the foundation for regional logistics operations.

Vice President of Silk Way West Airlines, Vuqar Mammadov, emphasized that the collaboration marks a major step in developing Azerbaijan’s postal and logistics infrastructure.
