Silk Way West Airlines orders two A350s from Boeing

For the first time, Silk Way West Airlines has moved away from an exclusive Boeing fleet and has placed an order with Airbus for two A350 wide-bodied freighters. Airbus plans to deliver the freighters to Silk Way West during the 2027-28. The airline also has rights to increase its orders by two aircraft. With this deal, Airbus now has 33 preliminary orders and commitments for the A350 freighter program it launched late last year. The decision is another win for Airbus as it makes it challenges Boeing’s dominance in the production freighter market.
