Wolfgang Meier, President of Silk Way West Airlines, and Matthieu Petot, Founder and CEO of CargoAi used the backdrop of the Air Cargo China 2026 in Shanghai, to sign a partnership agreement that will see the airline plug its freighter capacity into CargoAi’s platform, giving freight forwarders around the world easier visibility into available rates and space. Booking directly through the platform is not yet live, but planned as a future phase.
The move is part of Silk Way West’s push to modernize how it does business — making its widebody freighter network (operating out of Baku to Europe, Asia, the Middle East, and the Americas) more accessible and transparent for customers through digital tools, rather than relying solely on traditional booking channels. Both companies frame it as a step toward broader digitalization of the air cargo industry as a whole.
Wolfgang Meier, President of Silk Way West Airlines, stated: “Partnering with CargoAi represents an important step in our digital transformation journey. By expanding our digital booking capabilities, we aim to offer freight forwarders greater visibility, faster access to capacity and a more seamless experience when connecting with Silk Way West Airlines across our global network. This collaboration reflects our commitment to embracing innovative solutions that create additional value for our customers and support the continued development of the air cargo industry.”
Matthieu Petot, Founder and CEO of CargoAi, commented: “We are pleased to welcome Silk Way West Airlines to the CargoAi digital ecosystem. Its extensive global network and dedicated widebody freighter capacity will provide freight forwarders with broader access to reliable cargo solutions. We look forward to supporting Silk Way West Airlines in making its services increasingly efficient, transparent and digitally accessible to customers worldwide.”
