As demand for cargo capacity continues to surge on the African continent, Astral Aviation, one of Africa’s preeminent cargo operators has signed an interline agreement with Azerbaijan based, Silk Way West Airlines to expand their networks via Dubai World Central as their transit hub.
Silk Way West Airlines will enter the African cargo market where it had no scheduled services, effectively expanding its global reach while Astral Aviation will access its wider network and continue its growth
Johnny Rubio, Silk Way West Airlines’ chief commercial officer Indian Subcontinent, Middle East, Africa, said: “It is another success for us having such a large network across the African continent. The benefits of this interline agreement are of great interest.”
Sanjeev Gadhia, Astral Aviation’s chief executive, added: “We will continue to forge new alliances and partnerships during the pandemic in line with our philosophy of promoting cooperation and collaboration with airlines and all members of the supply chain, as this will enable our respective clients to benefit with better options and connectivity from our respective networks.”
