Silk Way West Airlines to offer unique freighter capacity on WebCargo’s digital cargo booking platform

BAKU/BARCELONA—Silk Way West Airlines announced it’s joining WebCargo’s air cargo booking platform, enabling access to real-time pricing and booking across their rapidly growing fleet for over 10,000 freight forwarders globally.

From mid-January 2022, capacity across Silk Way West Airlines’ 13 freighters, which connect over 40 destinations across Europe, Asia, and the Americas, will be made available to WebCargo forwarders around the world starting from Europe, the company announced.

“It has become clear that the pandemic and increased global logistics demand has accelerated the need to offer digital booking capabilities for air freight,” said Wolfgang Meier, CEO and President of Silk Way West Airlines. “Building on the strength of a full freighter network, Silk Way West Airlines looks forward to the new year by extending greater service accessibility and capacity visibility to our valued customers 24/7.”

Demand for digital air cargo soared in 2021. WebCargo saw 10x growth on a strong 2020, resulting in hundreds of thousands of eBookings via its platform.

“In 2017, air cargo digitization was a question of if the industry could adapt. By 2019 it was a question of when. Today, we’re asking how much faster it can go. Freighters like Silk Way West Airlines are showing that the answer is ‘faster than you can possibly imagine,’” said Manuel Galindo, CEO of WebCargo. “We’re witnessing a massive shift towards digital air cargo reflected on WebCargo’s booking and rate management platform and are proud to welcome Silk Way West Airlines to our list of innovative partner airlines.”
