Founded in 2012 in the Republic of Azerbaijan, in a short time, Silk Way West Airlines has become an official IATA member airline and is proud to have been named by Boeing as “one of the leading companies” in the air transportation field. To help achieve higher standards of service and minimize costs, Silk Way West Airlines is using Descartes’ cloud-based Global Air Messaging Gateway to automate air cargo communications processes such as the electronic airway bill (eAWB).
