With the 29th Conference of the Parties (COP29) taking place in Baku this 11-22NOV24 due to Azerbaijan being chosen its Presidency, it stands to reason that Silk Way West Airlines steps up as the conference’s Global Air Cargo Partner. “This partnership emphasizes the airline’s commitment to sustainability and environmental responsibility, aligning with global efforts to combat climate change, while also being in keeping with Azerbaijan’s declaration of 2024 as the Year of Solidarity for a Green World,” the release states. The Azerbaijani airline previously announced plans to renew its fleet with eight new state-of-the-art aircraft by 2030 for cleaner, more efficient freight services. Azerbaijan’s Year of Solidarity for a Green World includes a number of initiatives to protect the environment. The nation has set itself ambitious goals to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 35% by 2030, and 40% by 2050, relative to the 1990 baseline year. It is also looking into Smart City/Smart Village possibilities and aims to have 30% of its electricity generated through green energy by 2030.
In its role as Global Air Cargo Partner, Silk Way West Airlines will transport all the necessary materials and supplies required for the COP29. It thus also has the opportunity to work together with the global leaders, innovators, and policymakers attending the conference. “As a company operating at the crossroads of global trade, Silk Way West Airlines recognizes the importance of reducing its environmental impact and advancing green logistics solutions. By joining COP29, the airline continues to further its vision of fostering a sustainable future for the aviation and logistics sectors, in line with its mission to connect East and West through its strategic hub in Baku,” the release concludes.
Zaur Akhundov, President of Silk Way Group, stated: “We are honored to serve as the Global Air Cargo Partner for COP29. Sustainability is at the heart of everything we do at Silk Way West Airlines, and this partnership affirms our dedication to reducing the environmental impact of air cargo. By participating in this landmark event, we aim to contribute to a greener future for the global logistics industry and support Azerbaijan’s environmental goals.”
